Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator

of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor

compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost

water drains out through a trough into a special

container on the back of the appliance where it

evaporates.

Periodically clean the defrosting water drainage

hole of the refrigerator, using the special cleaner

already inserted into the discharge hole (Fig. 6).

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

and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the

appliance is empty.

To carry out complete defrosting of the freezer

compartment (

) proceed as follows:

Unplug the appliance from the power supply or set the

thermostat on the « O » position. Remove the ice-cube

trays and the frozen foods and wrap them in several

sheets of newspaper or, even better, in thermally

insulated containers, and then keep them in a cool

place.

Keep the freezer door open and introduce a container

ﬁlled with hot water (taking care to place this on a

layer of cardboard) so as to accelerate the defrosting

process.

Absorb all remaining water with a sponge and then

accurately dry the freezer. Reconnect the appliance to

the power supply and then set the thermostat to the

coldest position for approximately 2 hours and then

shift it into the normal functioning status.

Replace the foods previously removed from the

freezer and the ice cubes trays.

Important

Never use knives or metal objects to scrape away the

accumulated frost which might damage the cooling

circuit.

Remember that an increase in the surface temperature

of already-frozen foods may signiﬁcantly decrease

the duration of their conservation.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with trays for the

production of ice-cubes.

Fill these trays with water to 3/4 of their height, then

put them in the freezer compartment.

The ice-cubes may be shaken out from the trays by

simply twisting; do not use metallic instruments to

remove the trays from the freezer.
