After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.
5.2 Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-
ment every time the motor compressor
stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a trough into a spe-
cial container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where
it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
partment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food in-
side. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into
the drain hole.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-

the interruption in operation.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

ENGLISH 29
To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1.
Switch off the appliance.
2.
Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen goods with
wet hands. Hands can freeze to
the goods.
3.
Leave the door open and insert the
plastic scraper in the appropriate
seating at the bottom centre, placing
a basin underneath to collect the de-
frost water.
In order to speed up the defrost-
ing process, place a pot of warm
water in the freezer compartment.
In addition, remove pieces of ice
that break away before defrosting
is complete.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry
the interior thoroughly and keep the
scraper for future use.
5.
Switch on the appliance.
6.
After two or three hours, reload the
previously removed food into the
compartment.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could
damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any ar-
tificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
