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 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.
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.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should
be carried out as follows:
pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to the «O» setting;
WARNING! When the thermostat knob is turned to position «O» the ZERO DEGREE com-
partment also switches off;
remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
