Defrosting Of The Refrigerator - Electrolux FI1511 Benutzerinformation

7.4 Cleaning the ventilation
filter
The filter can be removed for washing.
The appliance is equipped with an air
inlet filter (1) and an air outlet duct (2) on
the ventilation grid.
1. Pinch flaps (a) and (b) with fingers.
2. Pull the filter down.
3. Pull the filter out.

7.5 Defrosting of the
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.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole (F) situated
under the salad drawers to prevent the
water overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner
provided (P), which you will find already
inserted into the drain hole.

7.6 Defrosting the ice-maker
compartment
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up
the thawing process other
than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form
around the ice-maker compartment.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases, it needs more
energy.
Defrost the ice-maker compartment when
the frost layer reaches a thickness of
about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance and
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
2. Empty the ice compartment.
3. Leave the door of the appliance and
ice-maker compartment open.
Defrosting usually takes several
hours
4. When finished, pour defrost water
gathered out of the tray and wipe the
surfaces dry.
5. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and turn the thermostat control to a
medium setting.
6. Put food taken out back to its place.
