Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form
of frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces
cooling efficiency as the temperature increases in the
cooling chambers, they need more energy, at a certain
thickness it does not allow the door of the freezing
compartment to open.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling plate of the
refrigerator is automatic without any external
intervention.The thermostatic control interrupts the
operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or
less time - during this cooling is interrupted - the
temperature of the cooling plate goes above 0 °C due to
interior heating load of the compartment, so defrosting
occurs. When the surface temperature of the cooling
plate has r3 - +4 °C the thermostatic control
restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded
through the back into the evaporative tray maintained on
the top of compressor and evaporates due to its warmth.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water
coming during defrosting regularly - a label
inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged
the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure
as it can go to the insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe
scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe scraper
has to be stored in the outlet.
The most typical case of clogging up in the melting water
outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the
appliance and this paper contacts back plate of the
refrigerator and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at
this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging
up in the outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be
careful - because of the above - when placing foods
wrapped in paper into the appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g. during
heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to
operate constantly - during this the automatic defrosting is
ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the
refrigerator after defrosting period is not abnormal.
The freezer can not be equipped with automatic defrosting
set since the deep-frozen and frozen foods do not endure
melting temperature.
When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and remove
frost and ice coating with the supplied plastic scraper.
The tray in figure is not a piece of accessories to the
appliance!
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot be removed with
the plastic scraper, the cooling plates have to be
defrosted. Frequency of defrosting depends on usage
(generally 2-3 times a year).
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put them
into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store them in a
possibly cool place or replace them into another
refrigerator.
