4.3 Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment does not
require defrosting, as any ice which forms
on the refrigeration plate will melt when the
compressor is idle.
If ice thicker than 3-5 mm should form on
the inside walls of the refrigerator
compartment, turn off the appliance and
defrost it manually.
The drainage channel opening for melted
ice is located inside the refrigerator
compartment under the refrigeration plate.
Check regularly that it is not blocked by
food scraps or anything else and clean it if
necessary with a straw or stiff wire.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment must be defrosted
when the thickness of the ice inside reaches
3-5 mm.
• Place a container on the floor in front of
the freezer compartment.
• Extract the drainage channel from the
rear of the freezer to allow the water to
flow out.
• Remove the freezer drawers.
• Do not use electrical devices (e.g. hair
dryers) or sprays for defrosting, the
plastic parts could be damaged.
• Clean and dry the inside of the freezer
compartment.
• Replace the freezer drawers, plug the
appliance back in and turn it on.
No-Frost models perform this
procedure automatically.
Occasional presence of frost
inside the freezer compartment is
normal.
It is recommended you further
lower the temperature of the
foodstuffs 24 hours before
defrosting using the Super Freeze
function. After 24 hours, remove
the frozen foods from the freezer
and protect them from thawing.
