Caring for Your Appliance
Defrosting
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to
speedup the defrosting process, unless they have
been recommended by the manufacturer.
How to defrost the refrigerator compartment.
This appliance features automatic defrosting;
condensed water flows to the back of the appliance
through a drain (see fig. 8) where the heat produced by
the compressor causes it to evaporate to the exterior.
The only precaution you need take, is to ensure the drain
hole behind the crisper is cleaned regularly, so that the
water can drain freely.
How to defrost the freezer compartment.
- Remember to regularly remove ice with the scraper
provided (never use a knife).
- When the layer of frost is more than 5 mm you should
defrost the appliance.
Follow these steps: set knob A to "
and frozen foods in newspaper and place them in the
refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the freezer door
open so that the ice thaws completely, placing basins of
warm water in the freezer to speed up defrosting.
