Defrosting; Important - Electrolux ERD 34291 W8 Manual De Instrucciones

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.

However, when the ice becomes very
thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall
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;
4. when defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly;
5. turn the thermostat knob back to
the required setting or replace the
plug in the power socket.
6. After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.
