Defrosting
Automatic defrosting of
refrigerator section
The refrigerator is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the
compressor causes it to evaporate. The
defrost water tray should be cleaned at
intervals.
Defrosting the freezer
The items stored and the humidity of the
air gradually cause frost and ice to form
in the freezer. A thin layer of frost or ice
does not affect freezer performance, but
the thicker the layer, the higher the energy
consumption. Loose frost can be removed
using a plastic or wooden scraper.
Never use a knife or other sharp
implement that might damage the inside
of the freezer.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the Super Freeze button 4-5
hours before defrosting. This lowers
the temperature of the items stored to
approx. -25°C, thus prolonging the length
of time they remain frozen after having
been removed from the freezer (see step
4 below).
2. Switch the freezer off by turning the
freezer thermostat button to 0.
3. Pull out the drain spout at the bottom of
the cabinet and place a bowl under it to
collect defrost water (fig. 11). If the spout
is frozen in place, lay a cloth which has
been soaked in hot water over it for a few
minutes.
4. Remove the items of food. Place them
in the refrigerator or wrap them in
newspaper to keep them as cold as
possible.
5. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water
in the freezer.
6. To prevent the floor from becoming wet
during defrosting, check progress from
time to time and lay towels around the
bowl on the floor to protect against ice
and splashes. When all the frost and
ice have melted, clean the inside of the
cabinet with a mild detergent solution.
Dry the freezer with a soft cloth.
7. Restart the freezer by turning the freezer
thermostat button to the required setting.
If many items are to be returned to the
freezer, activate the Super Freeze button.
Remember to switch Super Freeze off
again.
8. Return items to the freezer approx. 5
minutes after having switched it on.
