Defrosting the ice-box compartment
After a period of time frost will build up in the ice-box compartment.
As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a
plastic scraper. Complete defrosting will however become necessary.
This will maintain the efficiency of the refrigerator. It should also be
carried out if the frost build up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins
to interfere with the storage of ice.
o
Take out any items, turn the refrigerator off at the mains supply
and leave the door open.
o
Scrape away as much frost build up as possible using a plastic
scraper. Thawing of the remaining ice can be sped up by placing a
bowl of hot water inside the ice-box compartment and closing the
door. As the solid frost loosens, prize it away with the plastic
scraper and remove.
