the refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food turn the
thermostat knob towards 5. Small
quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb)
can be frozen without having to rotate
the temperature control knob.
You may place fresh food to be frozen
in any part of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
DEFROSTING
A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water
runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance
(1).(see diagram)
During defrosting water droplets
may form at the back of the fridge
compartment where concealed
evaporator is located.
Some droplets may remain on the
liner and refreeze when defrosting is
completed. Do not use pointed or sharp
edged objects such as knives, forks to
remove the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does
not drain from the collection channel,
check to ensure that no food particles
have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger provided down
the drain tube (2). If the frost layer
reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce
the setting (i.e. from 4 to 3) to restart
automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
Defrosting is very easy and without
mess thanks to a special defrost
collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost
layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start defrosting procedure switch
off the appliance at the socket outlet
and pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to remove
the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
and other similar electrical appliances
for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer and dry the
interior thoroughly. Insert the plug in
to the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply.
