Defrosting - Zanussi ZK 62/23 RF Instruction Booklet

Defrosting

Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the salad
crispers. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you
will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
D037
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.
Freezer
The freezer compartment of this model is of the
Çfrost-freeÈ type. This means that no frosting occurs
on the inner walls of the compartment or on food
during operation.
The absence of frosting is achieved by constant
circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
produced by an automatic fan blower.
The water produced by defrosting flows away - in the
case of both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments - through special drainage grooves
into a container positioned at the back of the
appliance above the compressor where it then
evaporates.
