How to DefroSt tHe ApplIANce
Before defrosting the appliance, unplug it
or switch off the power at the mains.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment
is completely automatic. Droplets of
water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic
automatic defrost cycle is in progress.
the defrost water is automatically routed
to a drain outlet and into a container from
which it evaporates.
Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly
using the tool supplied with the appliance
in order to ensure defrost water is removed
correctly. (fig. 1)
Defrosting the compartment
(if present)
Defrost the
compartment once or twice
a year or when ice formation is excessive.
It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The
amount of ice which forms and the rate at
which it accumulates will vary depending on
ambient conditions and the frequency with
which the freezer door is opened. Ice formation
is concentrated at the top of the compartment
and does not affect the efficiency of the
appliance.
If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly
empty.
• Remove the food from the freezer
compartment and group together in a cool
place or in a cool bag.
• Leave the door open to allow the frost to
melt.
• Clean the interior of the freezer with a
sponge and warm water and/or neutral
detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
• Put the food back into the freezer.
• Close the door.
Plug the appliance back in and switch on,
following the instructions in chapter "How to
operate the refrigerator compartment". The
settings and selections made prior to switching
off will be restored.
