Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off.
The water from the thawing frost is collected in the drain channel on
the rear of the fridge, feed through the drain hole into the collector
on the compressor, and then evaporated.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section
"Cleaning and Maintenance").
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer(s)For safety, store in this way only one or two days at
the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possi-
ble.
Milk bootles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack
on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the
refrigerator.
