DEFROSTING AND CLEANING
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Defrosting of the refrigerator is automatically carried out when it
goes through it’s set temperature cycle, refer to “Changing the
temperature” on page 13.
However, a manual defrost should be carried out when a build up
of excess ice is noticed on the evaporator plate (situated internally
at the rear of the cabinet).
Empty the food from the cabinet and store in an area where it can
keep chilled safely for approximately 2 hours.
Turn the refrigerator off by turning the thermostat dial to “0” and
disconnect the plug from the power outlet.
Leave the door open and make sure the evaporator tray and drain
hole are clear so the defrost water can run through freely. (15)
The water will collect in the drip tray, which is located at the rear of
the refrigerator, above the compressor.
Leave the refrigerator to defrost for approx 1 hour.
Turn the refrigerator back on by reconnecting the power plug and
turning the thermostat dial to it’s previous setting.
Once the refrigerator is turned back on, the heat of the compressor
will cause the water in the drip tray to evaporate.
Defrosting of the internal freezer compartment
If more than 4-5mm of frost and ice has formed in the freezer, it is
time for a defrost.
Remove all items from the freezer. To keep them as cold as
possible during defrost, they can be placed in the refrigerator
cabinet. Turn the thermostat to high, “7” or off “0”. Place a bowl
containing hot water (not boiling) in the freezer. When the ice has
melted, clean out the freezer using water and a little washing-up
liquid. Dry the freezer with a soft cloth. Reset the temperature.
Warning
It is dangerous to use electrical apparatus, knives or sharp objects
to speed up the defrosting process.
