Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via a
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the salad
crispers. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you
will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.
Freezer
When the frost has reached a thickness of up to
4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper
provided with the appliance. During this operation it
is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from
the mains and remove the food. Never use metal
tools for this operation.
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year)
proceed as follows:
- turn the thermostat dial to the «OFF» position (O)
or disconnect the appliance from the mains.
- Remove any food from inside the freezer, wrap it
in several sheets of newspaper and store in a
cool,dry place.
- Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper
under the channel in the centre of the lower part
of the appliance; place a low-sided container
beneath the scraper to collect the water (see fig.).
- Clean and dry thoroughly.
- Replace the scraper in one of the drawers .
- Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset
the thermostat to the normal position.
- After letting the appliance run for at least half an
hour, replace the previously removed food into
the compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
