This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special
container at the back of the appliance, over
the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.

Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION! Never use sharp
metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you
could damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than
those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature
rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set a lower
temperature, in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the
interruption in operation.
