Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops.
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 fruit and
vegetable drawer. Use the special cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the discharge
hole (Fig. 12).
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water
at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly before replacing.
Freezer
The freezer compartment of this model is of the
«frost-free» type. This means that no frosting occurs
on the inner walls of the compartment or on food
during operation.
The absence of frosting is achieved by constant
circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
produced by an automatic fan blower.
The water produced by defrosting flows away - in the
case of both the freezer and refrigerator compartments
- through special drainage grooves into a container
positioned at the back of the appliance above the
compressor where it then evaporates.
Attention!
«In the event of a power failure causing the
temperature within your freezer to rise, do not re-
freeze the food without checking its condition. The
following guidelines should assist you.»
Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and
used up.
Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.
Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated
and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be re-
frozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a
cooked dish.
