STARTING FORCED DEFROST (For Service)
How to Start a Forced Defrost
A forced defrost procedure has been introduced in all appliances in the ARTICA platform and also in
these appliances; it should be used when the Evaporator Battery needs to be defrosted and a three hour
Compressor On hasn’t been completed yet.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
• Starting with the appliance On and the door closed, open and close the fridge door 4 times
consecutively. Do not leave more than 5 seconds between one action (open/close) and the next.
• Within 5 seconds, open the fridge door for a fifth time.
• Keeping the fridge door open, within 5 seconds switch the appliance off (using the On/ Off button
or knob, depending on the type of interface).
• Keeping the fridge door open, within 5 seconds switch the appliance back on (using the On/ Off
button or knob, depending on the type of interface).
The procedure will be cancelled in the following cases:
• If more than five seconds is left between one step and the next.
• If the appliance is switched off in steps 1 and 2.
• If the fridge door is closed in steps 3 and 4.
