Defrosting - JUNO JCG 94185 Gebrauchsanweisung

Defrosting

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
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 from
overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside. Use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already
inserted into the drain hole.
The freezer compartment, however,
will become progressively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the
special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost
exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it
is not necessary to switch off the power
supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes
very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out and it
is advisable to carry out this operation
when the appliance is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting of the
freezer compartment proceed as follows:
1. Press button ON/OFF (I) ;
2. leave the door open, insert the
plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre,
placing a basin underneath to
collect the defrost water;

3. when defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and refit the
plug; keep the scraper for future use;
4. Press button ON/OFF (I). After
letting the appliance run for at least
half an hour, replace the previously
removed food into the
compartment.
Important
Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as
you could damage it.
Do not use a maechanical device or
any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
