Defrosting Fridge Compartment; Defrosting The Freezer Compartment - VESTEL VFKW2176 Betriebsanleitung

Defrosting fridge compartment

• Defrosting occurs fully automatically in fridge compartment during operation; the
defrosted water collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and water drain hole (back of the refrigerator crisper shelf)
should be cleaned periodically to prevent the water from collecting on the bottom
of the fridge instead of flowing out.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

• The frost, which covers the shelves of the freezer compartment, should be re-
moved periodically.
• Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the
refrigerant circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic
scraper provided.
• When there is more than 5 mm of frost on the shelves, defrosting must be carried
out.
• Before defrosting, place the frozen food in a cool place after wrapping it in sheets
of newspaper (this will help the food to
maintain it's tempertaure for longer).
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place
one or more bowls of warm water in the
freezer compartment.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a
sponge or a clean cloth.
• Once the unit has been defrosted, place
the food into freezer and remember to
consume it in a short period of time.
