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.

The freezer compartment, however, will
become progressively covered with
frost. This should be removed with a
plastic scraper, 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.

defrosting should be carried out and it
is advisable to carry out this operation

socket or turn the thermostat knob
to the «O» setting;
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and
put it in a cool place;
3. leave the door open, insert the
plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre,
placing a basin underneath to
collect the defrost water;

letting the appliance run for at least
half an hour, replace the previously
removed food into the
compartment.
