Defrosting - Lec LR111 User Manual

Defrosting

REFRIGERATOR (LR111 ONLY)
Your appliance has an automatic defrost system which requires no special operations on the part of the
user. The defrost water will fall into the trough underneath the bottom edge of the cold plate and run
down the drain into the plastic defrost water evaporation tray sitting on top of the compressor.

It is important that the drain does not become blocked. If the drain does become blocked, remove the
lower shelf and clear the blockage with a piece of soft wire or plastic such as a pipe cleaner or straw.
FREEZER (ISU111 ONLY)
Your freezer should be defrosted when there is a frost build up of 5mm. A thick layer of frost on the
inside of your appliance will make it less efficient and affect freezing performance.
Before defrosting, unplug the appliance. Use a plastic spatula to carefully scrape off any soft residue of
surface frost. DO NOT scrape with a sharp instrument, or use artificial heat which may cause damage.
Leave the door open and allow the freezer to defrost. Defrosting can be assisted by placing a bowl of hot
water inside your appliance and closing the door as far as possible.
When defrosting is complete, mop up any surface water, clean the appliance and dry thoroughly before
reconnecting to the mains supply.
