Fridge
defrosting
The
fridge
defrosting
process
is
carried
out
automatically
every
time
the
compressor
stops.
The
defrost
water
is
automatically
routed
to
the
drain
port
and
into
a
tray
placed
on
the
top
of
the
compressor
to
the
rear
of
the
appliance
from
which
it
evaporates.
Make
sure
the
drain
port
on
the
fridge
at
the
rear
of
the
appliance
is
kept
clear.
Freezer
defrosting
Frost
will
accumulate
inside
the
freezer
depending
upon
the
length
of
time
during
which
the
door
is
left
open
or
the
amount
of
moisture
introduced.
It
is
essential
to
ensure
that
no
frost
or
ice
is
allowed
to
form
at
places
where
it
will
affect
the
close
fitting
of
the
door
seal.
This
might
allow
air
to
penetrate
the
cabinet,
thus
encouraging
continuous
running
of
the
compressor.
Thin
frost
formation
is
quite
soft
and
can
be
removed
with
a
brush
or
plastic
scraper.
Do
not
use
metal
or
sharp
scrapers,
mechanical
devices
or
other
means
to
accelerate
the
defrosting
process.
Remove
all
dislodged
frost
from
the
cabinet
floor.
For
the
removal
of
thin
frost
it
is
not
necessary
to
switch
off
the
appliance.
For
the
removal
of
heavy
ice
deposits
disconnect
the
appliance
from
the
mains
supply
and
empty
the
contents
into
cardboard
boxes
and
wrap
in
thick
blankets
or
layers
of
paper
to
keep
them
cold.
Defrosting
will
be
most
effective
if
carried
out
when
the
freezer
is
empty,
and
it
should
be
carried
out
as
quickly
as
possible.
An
increase
in
temperature
of
frozen
food
packages
during
defrosting
will
shorten
the
storage
life.
Provided
that
the
contents
are
well
wrapped
and
placed
in
a
cool
area,
they
should
keep
for
several
hours.
Examine
the
contents
when
replacing
them
in
the
freezer
and
if
some
of
the
packages
have
thawed
out.
After
defrosting
is
finished
clean
the
inside
with
a
solution
of
warm
water
with
a
little
bicarbonate
of
soda
and
then
dry
thoroughly.
Wash
all
removable
parts
in
the
same
way
and
reassemble.
Reconnect
the
appliance
to
the
mains
supply
and
leave
for
2
to
3
hours
on
setting
number
7
before
introducing
the
food
back
into
the
freezer
and
setting
the
thermostat
to
your
normal
setting.
Noise
from
your
appliance
You
may
notice
some
rather
unusual
noises.
The
noises
are
caused
by
circulation
of
refrigerant
in
the
cooling
system.
It
has
become
more
pronounced
since
the
introduction
of
CFC
free
gases.
