6.3 Defrosting the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compart-

ment every time the motor compressor

stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-

ter drains out through a drain hole into a

special container at the back of the appli-

ance, over the motor compressor, where

it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the de-

frost water drain hole in the middle of the

refrigerator compartment channel to pre-

vent the water overflowing and dripping

onto the food inside.

6.4 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.

To remove the frost, follow the

instructions below:

• pull out the plug from the wall socket or

switch off the appliance

• remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-

eral layers of newspaper and put it in a

cool place

• remove the freezer drawers

• put insulating material around the draw-

ers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.

Defrosting can be accelerated by placing

bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside

the freeze

• Loosen the drainage channel from its

resting position, push it in according to

the illustration and place it in the bot-

tom freezer drawer where water can

collect

• carefully scrape off the ice when it

starts to thaw. Use a wood or a plastic

scraper

• when all the ice has melted, clean and

wipe the cabinet dry, then put the

drainage channel back in place.

• switch on the cabinet and replace the

frozen foodstuff.

It is recommended to operate the ap-

pliance at the highest position of the

thermostatic control for some hours

so that it can reach the sufficient

storing temperature as soon as possi-

ble.

Never use sharp metal tools to

scrape off frost from the evapora-

tor 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 man-

ufacturer. A temperature rise of

the frozen food packs, during de-

frosting, may shorten their safe

storage life.
