FRIDGE DEFROSTING
The fridge defrosting process is carried out automatically every
time the compressor stops.
The defrost water is automatically routed to the drain port and
into a tray placed on the top of the compressor to the rear of the
appliance from which it evaporates.
Make sure the drain port on the fridge at the rear of the
appliance is kept clear.
FREEZER DEFROSTING
Frost will accumulate inside the freezer depending upon the
length of time during which the door is left open or the amount
of moisture introduced.
It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at
places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal.
This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, thus encouraging
continuous running of the compressor.
Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a
brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers,
mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor.
For the removal of thin frost it is not necessary to switch off
heappliance.
For the removal of heavy ice deposits disconnect the appliance
from the mains supply and empty the contents into cardboard
boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep
them cold. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when
the freezer is empty, and it should be carried out as quickly
aspossible.
