Defrosting

Refrigerator

Frost is automatically removed from the evaporator of the refrigerator com-

partment every 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, located over the motor compressor, where it evapo-

rates.

Freezer

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with

frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,

whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it

is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.

However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete

defrosting should be carried out as follows:

1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-

spaper and put it in a very cool place.

2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or turn the temperature

control knob to “0”.

3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.

4. Insert the plastic scraper into the

recess provided under the defrost

water channel and place a collecting

basin under it.

5. Once defrosting is completed keep

the scraper handy for future use;

6. Turn the thermostat knob to the

required setting or replace the plug

in the power socket.

Warning!

Never use metal tools to scrape off

the frost

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 shor-

ten their safe storage life.
