Defrosting the appliance
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any
devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you may
damage the refrigeration circuit.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:
water is ducted to the back
of the appliance by a
special discharge outlet
(see diagram) where the
heat produced by the
compressor causes it to
evaporate. It is necessary
to clean the discharge hole
regularly so that the water
can flow out easily.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper provided.
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to
defrost manually:
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
position .
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment.
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before
switching the appliance on again.
5. Certain appliances are
fitted with the DRAIN
SYSTEM to lead the water
outside. Let the water flow
into a container (see
diagram).
6. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before
switching the appliance on again.
7. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have been restored, before placing
food in the freezer compartment.
