Defrosting

Refrigerator
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.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with
frost. This should be removed with al plastic scraper, whenever the tickness
of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to swit-
ch 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 as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-
spaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or remove or unscrew the
safety fuses.
3. Leave the freezer compartment
door open.
4. Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collecting
basin under it.
5. Turn the thermostat knob to the
required setting or replace the plug
in the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off
the frost
Do not use a mechanical 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 shor-
ten their safe storage life.
