Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev-

ery time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out

through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor com-

pressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator

compartment channel to prevent the water over-

flowing 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 com-

partment.

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.
