DEFROSTING
A) FRIDGE COMPARTMENT
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The defrosting water runs
to the drain tube via a collection container
at the back of the appliance (1).
(see diagram) During defrosting water
droplets may form at the back of the fridge
compartment where concealed evaporator
is located. Some droplets may remain on
the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed. Do not use pointed or
sharp edged objects such as knives, forks to remove the droplets which have
frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel,
check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain
tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the
drain tube (2). If the frost layer reaches about 1/4"(7 mm), reduce the setting
(i.e. from 4 to 1) to restart automatic defrosting.
B) FREEZER COMPARTMENT
DEFROSTING
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start defrosting procedure turn the thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawer (Fig1). Fold out the spout, place a tray underneath
the spout (Fig 2) to collect the water.
Containers full of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
