Defrost; Stopping Your Product - Grundig GSMI14331FN User Instructions

Defrost

A) Fridge compartment
Fridge compartment performs full-
automatic defrosting.
Water drops and a frosting up to 7-8
mm can occur on the inner rear wall of
the fridge compartment while your
refrigerator cools down. Such
formation is normal as a result of the
cooling system. The frost formation is
defrosted by performing automatic
defrosting with certain intervals thanks
to the automatic defrosting system of
the rear wall. User is not required to
scrape the frost or remove the water
drops. Water resulting from the
defrosting passes from the water
collection groove and flows into the
evaporator through the drain pipe and
evaporates here by itself.
Check regularly to see if the drain
pipe is clogged or not and clear it with
the stick in the hole when necessary.
B) Freezer compartment
Deep freezer compartment does not
perform automatic defrosting in order
to prevent decaying of the frozen food.
Defrosting is very straightforward and
without mess, thanks to a special
defrost collection basin. Defrost twice
a year or when a frost layer of around
7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the
defrosting procedure, switch off the
appliance at the socket outlet and pull
out the mains plug.
When you open/shut the door of the
low-temperature compartment, pull
the closing flap slightly (figure 1).

All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Containers of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to
remove the frost.
Never use hair dryers, electrical
heaters or other such electrical
appliances for defrosting.
Sponge out the defrost water
collected in the bottom of the freezer
compartment. After defrosting, dry the
interior thoroughly (figure 2).
Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
