5.2 Defrosting the refrigerator

5.3 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature regula-
tor toward higher settings , in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in oper-
ation.
To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put
it in a cool place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3.
Leave the door open.
In order to speed up the defrost-
ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compart-
ment. In addition, remove pieces
of ice that break away before de-
frosting is complete.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly.

Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The de-
frost water drains out through a drain
hole into a special container at the back
of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, 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 drip-
ping onto the food inside.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evapo-
rator 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.

5.4 Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for
long periods, take the following precau-
tions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the ap-
pliance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent
unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to pre-
vent the food inside from spoiling in
case of a power failure.
