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.
