Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water created will run out of the
fridge through the channel at the back of the fridge.
It is important to keep the channel clear at all times using the
cleaning tool supplied.
The defrosted water is collected in the evaporating tray at the back
of the appliance and dissipated by evaporation.
If you notice a heavy build up of ice, refer to the
troubleshooting section on ice on page 13.
Defrosting the icebox
An excessive build-up of ice or frost in your icebox will lead to
decreased efficiency and potentially increase your energy bills.
We recommend defrosting the icebox at least once a year or
whenever the ice build-up inside is thicker than
¼
of an inch.
The safest way to defrost your icebox is by switching the appliance
off and leaving the doors open until all of the ice has melted
away. Ensure you place old towels on the floor at the base of the
appliance to catch any water that runs from the appliance. We
advise against the use of newspapers to catch the water as the ink
can run and ruin floors or units.
Removing chunks of the ice/frost as it is defrosting will speed up
the process. Do not use any sharp objects or implements, hair
driers or heat guns as these can cause irreversible damage.
