Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting.
Water drops and a frosting up to 7-8
mm can occur on the inner rear wall of
the fridge compartment while your
refrigerator cools down. Such
formation is normal as a result of the
cooling system.
The frost formation is defrosted by
performing automatic defrosting
with certain intervals thanks to the
automatic defrosting system of the rear
wall. User is not required to scrape the
frost or remove the water drops.
Water resulting from the defrosting
passes from the water collection
groove and flows into the evaporator
through the drain pipe and evaporates
here by itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain pipe
is clogged or not and clear it with the
stick in the hole when necessary.
B) Freezer compartment
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order to
prevent decaying of the frozen food.
Defrosting is very straightforward and
without mess, thanks to a special
defrost collection basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost
layer of around 7 (1/4") mm has formed.
To start the defrosting procedure, switch
off the appliance at the socket outlet
and pull out the mains plug.
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a cool
place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters
or other such electrical appliances for
defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water collected
in the bottom of the freezer
compartment. After defrosting, dry the
interior thoroughly.
Insert the plug into the wall socket and
switch on the electricity supply.
