DEFROSTING

A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

The fridge compartment defrosts automatically.

The defrosting water runs to

 

the drain tube via a collection container at the

 

back of the appliance (1) (see

 

diagram). During defrosting water droplets 

may

 

form at the back of the fridge

 

compartment where concealed evaporator 

is

 

located. Some droplets may

 

remain on the liner and refreeze when 

defrosting

 

is completed. Do not use

 

pointed or sharp edged objects such as 

knives,

 

forks to remove the droplets

 

which have frozen.

If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel,

 

check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain

 

tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the

 

drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the

 

temperature 

setting

 

to restart automatic defrosting.

B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer compartment defrosts

 

automatically.

Warnings!

The fan inside the freezer compartment circulates 

  Freezer fan

 

cold air. Never insert any object through the

 

guard. 

Do not allow children to play with the

 

freezer fan.

Never store products that contain

 

inflammable 

propellant gas (e

.

g

.

 dispensers,

 

spray cans etc.) 

or explosive substances.

Don’t cover the shelves with any protective

materials, which may obstruct air circulation.

Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the

 

controls.

Do not obstruct the freezer fan guard to ensure that you obtain the best

 

possible performance from your appliance.
