Defrosting The Appliance - Panasonic NR-AD20AB1 Operating Instructions Manual

Defrosting the appliance

Freezer
Defrost the freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter layer of frost or ice has built up.
After turning off the switch of the appliance, remove the food from the freezer and protect it from defrosting.
• Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health.
• Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may damage a pipe of the cooling
system.
• As frost melts, water and ice will build up in the case and in lower portions of the compartment. Please wipe these away.
In natural defrosting, it may take time for frost to melt due to surrounding temperatures.
• Clean and dry the appliance interior.
• Put the food back into the freezer once the inside of the appliance is suffi ciently cooled.
Fridge
The refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed automatically.
Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive.
Drops will fl ow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fi tted above the compressor, from where they will
evaporate.
If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior (3-5 mm), switch off the appliance and defrost
the appliance manually.
