Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated
during normal use. The defrost water
drains out through a trough into a
special container at the back of the
appliance, where it evaporates.
We recommend that you peridically
clean the defrost-water drainage
outlet with the cleaner provided,
located in the center of the drainage
groove.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, will become progrssively covered with frost. This
should be removed with a plastic scraper. Whenever the tickness of the fro-
st exceeds 4 mm complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1.
pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to th “0”
setting.
2.
remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers newspaper and put it in a
coll place.
3.
leave the door open.
4.
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly
5.
turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or raplace the plug in the
power socket.
Attention
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 shor-
ten their safe storage life.
