Defrosting the refrigerator
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Important! About 12 hours prior to
defrosting, set the Temperature regulator
toward higher settings , in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the interruption in
operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods
with wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3. Leave the door open.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in
the freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly.
WHAT TO DO IF...
Warning! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a drain hole into a special con-
tainer at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the de-
frost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to pre-
vent the water overflowing and dripping on-
to the food inside.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the com-
partment.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any arti-
ficial means to speed up the thawing proc-
ess other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appli-
ance and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-
body to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
Only a qualified electrician or compe-
tent person must do the troubleshoot-
ing that is not in this manual.
