Defrosting
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
the 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 or 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 7 mm, reduce the setting (i.e. from 4
to1) to restart automatic defrosting.
Defrosting
Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very easy and without mess
due to a dedicated defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of
around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start the defrosting procedure switch off
the refrigerator at the wall socket and pull
out the mains plug. All food should be
wrapped in several layers of newspaper and
stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers. Containers full
of warm water may be placed carefully in the
freezer to speed up the defrosting process.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects
such as knives or forks to remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters and
other similar electrical appliances for
defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge out
any defrost water which collects at the
bottom of the freezer and dry the interior
thoroughly.
Insert the plug in to the wall socket and
switch on the electricity supply.
