DEFROSTING
The frost which forms on the cooling grids
MUST be removed when it is 3-5mm thick
1. REFRIGERATOR
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator – ice forming on the inner
back wall is automatically defrosted.
Ice deposits on the inner back wall while the compressor operates.
Later on, when the compressor is not operating, ice defrosts and water
drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into
the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it
evaporates.
2. FREEZER
You must, however, MANUALLY DEFROST the FREEZER
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you should
clean the freezer. NOTE – IF YOU SHOULD NOTICE WATER LEAKING
FROM YOUR FRIDGE-FREEZER, YOU SHOULD:
a)
Set the thermostat to position ‘7’ so that packages are well frozen.
Reset the thermostat to the ‘STOP (0)’ position and disconnect the
power supply. Empty the freezer and take care that the packages
remain frozen.
b)
Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the bottom of the appliance
and place a vessel underneath to collect the defrosted water.
• NOTE: Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left open or
if you insert a basin of warm water to speed the process.
NEVER USE HAIR DRYERS TO DEFROST WITH.
• NEVER USE DEFROSTING SPRAYS. SPRAYS MAY
CONTAIN CHEMICALS THAT ARE TOXIC OR CAUSTIC.
