Defrosting
The water-packs stored and the humidity of
the air gradually causes frost and ice to form
in the freezer compartment. A thin layer of
frost or ice does not affect freezer perfor-
mance, but a thick layer could cause the
freezer not to cool water-packs satisfactory.
Small amounts of loose frost can be remo-
ved using a plastic scraper.
Never use electrical apparatus or sharp
implements as these may damage the inside
of the appliance.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted.
Defrosting should be performed in the
morning between 7am to 9am, just before
the solar radiation again is powerful enough
to start compressor and run refrigeration
system.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the power supply by switch-
ing off the ON/OFF button. Important!
ONLY switch off the power supply of the
freezer compartment. (See fig. 9)
2. Remove all water-packs from freezer
compartment. Place them in an empty
coldbox or wrap them up to keep them as
cold as possible.
3. Keep the freezer lid open.
4. Open the two drainage plugs. One is
place inside the freezer compartment,
and one placed in left side front of ap-
pliance.
5. Place a tray under the defrost water
drain.
6. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water
in the freezer, close the lid and wait ap-
prox. 30 minutes before removing loose
frost with the plastic scraper.
7. To prevent water from damaging the floor
during defrosting, it is advisable to check
the defrost water tray from time to time and
to cover the floor around the defrost water
drain to protect against ice and splashes.
When all the frost and ice have melted,
clean the inside cabinet, as well lid, lid ga-
sket, and outside of the cabinet using water
with a mild, perfume-free detergent. Dry the
freezer with a soft cloth, and make sure no
moisture is remaining after cleaning.
8. Reinsert the internal and external drainage
plugs, and check lid gasket is not faulty.
9. Reconnect the power supply by the ON/
OFF button.
10. Check waterpacks are not leaking before
returning them to the freezer compartment.
Place waterpacks according instructions,
approx. 5 minutes after having switched it
on. Close the lid.
