Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time. The presence of water
drops on the back wall at the inside of the refrigerator indicates that the appliance is busy
defrosting automatically. The defrost water runs through the drain channel to a receptacle where
it evaporates.
Ensure that the drain outlet is clean. You can clean a clogged drain with a satay stick, for
example.
Freezer compartment
After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas of the freezer. The frost, accumulated
in the freezer compartment, should be removed periodically. Use a plastic scraper for this, for
example. If the frost layer exceeds 3-5 mm, it is necessary to defrost the freezer completely to
maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to the lowest temperature setting to
freeze the foods completely.
•
Before defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of blankets or
newspaper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their
storage life. Remember to use these foods within a relatively short period of time.
•
Switch off the appliance.
•
Leave the door open to speed up the defrosting process.
•
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.
•
Remove any water left on the recessed bottom of the appliance with a sponge or absorbent
cloth.
•
Clean the freezer with lukewarm water and a regular, mild detergent. Never use abrasive
products or aggressive cleaning agents.
