Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of

the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-

pressor 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 overflowing and dripping onto the

food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you

will find already inserted into the drain hole.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer

shelves and around the top compartment.

Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness

of about 3-5 mm.

Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set the

Temperature regulator toward higher settings , in order to

build up sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in

operation.

To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of

newspaper and put it in a cool place.

Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands.

Hands can freeze to the goods.

3. Leave the door

open and insert

the plastic scra-

per in the appro-

priate seating at

the bottom centre,

placing a basin

underneath to

collect the defrost

water

In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a

pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In ad-

dition, remove pieces of ice that break away before de-

frosting is complete.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-

oughly and keep the scraper for future use.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. After two or three hours, reload the previously re-

moved food into the compartment.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off

frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.

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 shorten their safe storage life.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the

following precautions:

• disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

• remove all food

• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all ac-

cessories

• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it

once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in

case of a power failure.
