For model no. RSB20 Refrigerator
Defrosting the Frozen Food compartment:
WARNING: Never use sharp metal tools for this
operation as they can damage your fridge
beyond repair.
Defrosting should be carried out regularly -
either, every two or three weeks or when the
ice is between 3 - 5mm thick. This will ensure
that your appliance operates efficiently.
A build up of ice could cause damage to the
freezer door flaps or create incorrect
temperatures inside the fridge compartment.
* The day before you plan to defrost, set the
thermostat dial to the 5. position to
completely freeze the contents.
* 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.
* Before defrosting pull out the water tray
plug (1) on the water tray (2) and place a
bowl (3) underneath the tray hole to
collect the water. Ensure you use a bowl
large enough to contain the water.
* To defrost the fridge turn the thermostat
control knob to the O (OFF) position or
you may switch off the appliance at the
mains socket and pull the plug out.
* To accelerate the process, leave the door
open and one or more basins of warm
water can be placed in the freezer
compartment.
* Dry the inside of the unit and water tray,
refit the tray plug and set the thermostat
knob to the 5. position.

and that stored food does not come into
contact with the cooling
plate.
