Defrosting the freezer compartment
WARNING: Plastic scraper is provided for scraping
ice in defrost process. Do not use sharp metal
objects for this operation. They could puncture the
refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage
to the unit.
To maintain the effi ciency of the freezer, complete
defrosting will become necessary if the frost layer
exceeds 3-5mm.
• The day before you defrost, set the thermostat
dial to position “5” to freeze the foods
completely.
• During defrosting, frozen foods should be
wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in
a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature
will shorten their storage life. Remember to use
these foods within a relatively short period of
time.
• Set the thermostat knob to position “0” and
switch off the appliance.
• Leave the door open to accelerate defrosting.
Remove the defrosted water from the
compartment.
• This appliance is provided with a special drain
system – as described in three steps below:
a: Pull out the bottom drawer (1) of the freezer
compartment and put it on the fl oor aligned to
the front of the cabinet (see Figure 13).
b: Pull out the drain pipe (2) placed on the back
wall of the freezer compartment.
c: If there is still defrosted water on the freezer fl oor,
clear it away by using a sponge.
• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent.
Never use abrasive products or aggressive
cleaning agents.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug it into the mains,
and set the thermostat knob to position “5”. After
24 hours, reset the thermostat to the desired
position.
