Defrosting The Refrigerator Compartment; Defrosting The Freezer Compartment; Freezing With Super Freeze - Baumatic BR23.8A Combi Instruction Manual

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

o Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section during
operation. The defrost water is collected by the evaporating tray
and evaporates automatically.
o The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should be
cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug. This will prevent
water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of
flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain hole.
o You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole
to clean inside of it.
o You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not
touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the
automatic defrosting process and deflect water into the base of
your refrigerator.
Defrosting the
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically.
You can use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that
builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted at least
twice a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it, will
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you
freeze and store in the compartment.
o The day before you defrost, the "Freezing with Super Freeze"
section on page 15 should be followed. This will make sure that
the food contained in the compartment is frozen properly.
o Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed
from the compartment and wrapped in several layers of paper
and stored in a cool place. The foods rise in temperature will
shorten its storage life and therefore the food should be used
within a relatively short period of time.
