Defrosting Your Appliance
The fridge compartment is defrosted
automatically. Defrost water from the cooling
plate runs out of the drain and onto a tray on the
motor compressor where it is evaporated. This
process is completely automatic. Droplets of
water on the cooling plate during defrosting are
quite normal and will freeze on the plate
afterwards.
In the freezer compartment, frost accumulates on
the refrigerated shelves during normal operation.
Defrosting should be carried out when the frost
build up is approximately 6mm (¼") thick.
To Defrost the Freezer
1. Wrap any food in layers of newspaper or
blankets.
2. Switch the appliance off at the wall socket
and remove the plug.
3. Remove the bottom shelf in the freezer.
4. Remove the plug from the drain-hole (in the
top of the refrigerator) by pulling
downwards.
5. Place a container under the drain hole.
6. After defrosting, clean and dry the interior,
and replace the plastic plug.
7. Switch the appliance on and replace any
frozen food.
Defrosting can be speeded up by putting
bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the
freezer and loosening the frost with a
suitable plastic scraper.
If the temperature of frozen food is allowed
to rise during defrosting, its storage life may
be shortened.
When the Appliance is Not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all of
the food and clean the appliance, leaving the
door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
