It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already
inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket or
switch off the appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the
drawers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing
bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the
freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its
resting position, push it in according to
the illustration and place it in the bottom
freezer drawer where water can collect
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts
to thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and
wipe the cabinet dry, then put the
drainage channel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet and replace the
frozen foodstuff.
It is recommended to operate the
appliance at the highest position of
the thermostatic control for some
hours so that it can reach the
sufficient storing temperature as soon
as possible.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it. Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
