While in operation the ice compartment becomes
progressively covered with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus
prevents the cold from reaching the food should be
removed whenever the thickness of the frost
exceeds 6 mm (1/4").
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Remove any items from inside the ice
compartment.
2. Turn the thermostat contol knob to the ÇOFFÈ (O)
position, making sure that the stopper of the water
collector tray is firmly inserted in the water drain
hole. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot
water inside the compartment (with a piece of
cardboard underneath the bowl as protection).
3. Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator
under the drain hole of the conveyor and remove
the stopper as shown in the figure.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry thoroughly and
remove the water collected in the tray. Replace the
stopper.
Turn the thermostat control knob on a medium
position to restart the appliance.
After letting the appliance run for at least half an
hour, replace the previously removed items into the
ice compartment.
When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the
foods from the inner door and the refrigerator
compartment.
Important
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it
beyond repair.
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared foods.
This together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that
the food in your home is in as perfect condition
as possible.
¥ Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your fridge as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22¡C in an hour between the
supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get
down to 7¡C in the refrigerator.
¥ Keep the refrigerator door closed as much as
possible.
¥ Do not push food together too much, try to allow air
to circulate around each item.
¥ Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the refrigerator until cool. (Leave food
in a cool place in order that it can then be placed in
the refrigerator as soon as possible).
¥ Do NOT mix raw and cooked meat, they must be in
separate containers. Take care not to let the meat
juices drip onto other food. If the meat does drip,
remove everything and clean thoroughly.
¥ Do not store food uncovered.
¥ Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and
clean the interior (see ÒMaintenance and
CleaningÓ).
¥ Never allow spillages to dry and harden.
¥ Store eggs in the egg rack provided in the
refrigerator door. Discard any broken or chipped
eggs.
¥ Regularly check the refrigerator door seal to
ensure that it is clean and free from debris.
¥ Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry
them with a clean towel before handling food.
¥ Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work surface
or knife, without washing them thoroughly in
between.
