DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE

AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING
Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall
is thawed automatically.
Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will
flow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the
compressor, from where they will evaporate.
Make sure the opening in the back wall in the refrigerator interior is never
blocked by food or any other object.
If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior (3–5
mm), switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.
DEFROSTING A CONVENTIONAL FREEZER
• Defrost the freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre layer of frost or ice
has built up.
• 24 hours before defrosting, activate the super freeze function to additionally
cool the food (see section Freezing procedure).
After this period, remove the food from the freezer and protect them from
defrosting.
• Switch off the appliance (see chapter Switching the appliance on/off ) and
unplug the power cord.
• Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, as you may
damage the cooling system.
• Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you
may damage a pipe of the cooling system.
• To speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of hot water on the glass shelf.
• Clean and dry the appliance interior (see chapter Cleaning the Appliance).
DEFROSTING A NO FROST FREEZER
• The NO FROST freezer will defrost automatically. Occasional frost that may appear on
the walls will disappear automatically.
• Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer compartment can be a result of abnormal use of
appliance (door opened too frequently and/or too long, door not properly closed etc.).
In this case, unplug the appliance, remove the food from the freezer and protect them
from defrosting. Clean and dry the freezer interior. Before returning the frozen food into
the freezer, switch on the appliance and select the desired setting.
