Defrosting The Fridge; Defrosting The Freezer - Candy BI BM 193 NF Mode D'emploi

The water drain hole at the back of the
fridge compartment should be cleaned
periodically to prevent the defrosted
water from collecting inside the fridge
compartment. The drain plug can be
used to clean the drain hole.
If the appliance is not to be used for
prolonged periods of time, unplug and
clean the appliance. The doors should be
left slightly ajar to prevent the formation
of mildew and unpleasant odors.

Defrosting the fridge

The fridge is self-defrosting. Any water
created will run out of the fridge through
the channel at the back of the fridge,
unless the drain hole is blocked. It is
important to keep the channel clear
at all times using the cleaning tool
supplied. The defrosted water is
collected in the evaporating tray at the
back of the appliance and dissipated by
evaporation.

Defrosting the freezer

The freezer has a no frost system which
is designed to prevent the heavy build up
of ice. Under normal use, there should be
no need to regularly defrost the freezer
system.
To help in times of service or cleaning,
the appliance has a forced defrost mode
which can be activated by touching and
holding sensors A and C in Fig. 3 for
approximately 3 seconds. The
refrigerator temperature adjustment
sensor (A) will flash to confirm that the
forced defrost function is active. This
function should automatically deactivate
once the freezer temperature has
reached between 10 and 12°C.
Please note: If you are regularly finding a
heavy build up of ice, or pools of water,
in the freezer section then it is likely that
the door is not sealing properly. This
could be due to a defective door seal or
an incorrectly fitted, or overly heavy,
decor door. For more information see
the troubleshooting section on ice.
