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).
Please flush with approximately 100 ml of
warm tap water, to ensure that the water
drains. If the blockage is still present, use
a suitable "refrigerator drain cleaning
tool", and flush with approximately 100ml
of warm tap water.
NOTE: Do not flush with excessive water,
this will cause the evaporator tray at the
back of the appliance to overflow and
cause a leak. If the problem persists
please contact service.
B) Freezer compartment
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order to
prevent decaying of the frozen food.
Defrosting is very easy and without mess
thanks to a special defrost collection well.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer
of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed. To
start the defrosting procedure, switch off
the appliance 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 drawers. Containers
full of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical
heaters and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer well and dry the
interior thoroughly. Insert the plug
in to the wall socket and switch on the
electricity supply.
Warnings!
Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas
(e.g. dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don't cover the shelves with any
protective materials, which may
obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the
appliance or tamper with the controls.
Warning:
Do not use any copper pot, dish inside
the cabinet!
Do not load any food without package!
