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 at the back of the appliance, over

the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator

compartment channel to prevent the water over-

ﬂowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided, which you will

ﬁnd already inserted into the drain hole.

The freezer compartment, however, will become pro-

gressively 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.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost

from the evaporator as you could damage it.

However, when the ice becomes very thick on the in-

ner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as

follows:

pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the ther-

mostat knob to the «O» setting;

remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of

newspaper and put it in a cool place;

leave the door open, and remove the water which

forms during defrosting by means of a sponge of

cloth;

when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-

oughly;

keep the scraper for future use;

turn the thermostat knob back to the required setting

or replace the plug in the power socket.

After two or three hours, reload the previously re-

moved food into the compartment.

Important: A temperature rise of the frozen food

packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe stor-

age life.
