Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure,
because ice deposited at the inner back wall is
defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation is defrosted when the
compressor stops operating, and condensed water
drops are drained through the outlet in the inner
back wall into the drain pan situated above the
compressor where it evaporates.
For appliances without the ZERO’N’FRESH
drawer:
In case of excessive ice deposits at the inner
rear wall of the refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the
appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button and
defrost it manually.
•
Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the
freezer reaches thickness of around 3-5 mm.
•
24 hours before defrosting set the fast freeze
key (
E
), to continuous operation in order to
additionally freeze the food inside. The yellow
light is on . After that empty the freezer and take
care that the packages remain frozen.
•
Switch the freezer off by turning the temperature
selector (
B
) to ON/OFF button.
•
To drain defrost water pull the funnel shaped
groove at the bottom of the appliance out, and
place a convenient vessel underneath to collect
the defrost water.
•
Never use powered appliances to defrost the
freezer (hair dryer, etc.).
•
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.
•
Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry
(see chapter Cleaning).
•
Before reloading food into the freezer switch the
appliance on.
