- Clean and dry thoroughly.

- Reconnect the appliance to the mains or reset

the thermostat to a functioning position.

- After letting the appliance run for a least half an

hour, replace the previously removed food into
the compartment.

controlled by the thermostat and will not be
operational during this period. A temperature rise of
the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.

Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
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 fruit and
vegetable drawer. 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 and

fridge, 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.
