Defrosting The Freezer - Electrolux SANTO C 4 18 40-6i Benutzerinformation

through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the
special cleaner provided, which you will find al-
ready inserted into the drain hole.

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 reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
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 and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the
bottom centre, placing a basin under-
neath to collect the defrost water
In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer com-
partment. In addition, remove pieces of ice
that break away before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly and keep the scraper for
future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the pre-
viously removed food into the compartment.
