Defrosting The Fridge; Defrosting The Freezer - CDA FW971 Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

Defrosting the fridge

The fridge is cooled by convection using cold air forced through
channels at the rear of the fridge. No defrosting is required.

Defrosting the freezer

The freezer is frost free and as such is designed not to require
defrosting.
To switch off the compressor for a short period of time and so to force
a defrost cycle, push and hold the Power button for approximately
five seconds. After 20 seconds, the defrosting process will begin.
Alternatively, disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply
for the required amount of time.
Please note: The compressor will be off and as such will not power
the fridge during this time. Ensure that no foods that may be spoiled
are left in the appliance when defrosting.
IMPORTANT: After the power supply to the appliance has
been switched off, wait at least 5 minutes before switching the
appliance back on again.
