You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain
hole to clean the defrost drainage channel.
You should be careful to make sure that food packages do
not touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt
the automatic defrosting process and defl ect water into the
base of your refrigerator.
Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to
clean the evaporating tray.
IMPortant: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming
on the back wall of the appliance. The formation of ice
droplets does not indicate an appliance fault.
Defrosting
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed
periodically. Use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount
of frost that builds up.
IMPortant: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice
a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it will
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much
food you freeze and store in the freezer.
The day before you defrost, switch on the Super Frost setting.
This will make sure that the food contained in the freezer is
frozen properly.
While defrosting the appliance, remove the food from the
freezer, wrap it in several layers of paper and store it in a cool
place. The temperature rise in foods will shorten its storage
life, so the food should be used within a relatively short time.

Do not place food back in the freezer once it has
started to thaw.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
Leave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl
of warm water inside the freezer to speed up the defrost
process.
The freezer section is fi tted with a defrost drainage tube:
Pull out the bottom drawer and place it on the fl oor in front
of the freezer (fig.5-3).
The defrost drainage tube is located in the base of the freezer.
Remove it and insert it in the hole at the front of the freezer,
making sure that the square cut-out is in and faces down
(fig.5-4).
Check to that the defrost water coming out of the defrost
drainage tube; it will fl ow into the bottom drawer that you
have placed in front of the freezer.
Make sure that the bottom drawer does not overfl ow: the
defrost water may need emptying periodically.
Once all the ice has melted, thoroughly dry the inside of the
freezer.
IMPortant: If the inside of the freezer is not dry, then
there will be an immediate build-up of ice when the
appliance is switched back on.
