Defrosting - V-ZUG COOLTRONIC Operating Instructions Manual

All cold­sensitive tropical fruits such as
pineapple, avocados, bananas, grapefruits,
mangos, melons, papayas, passion fruit,
etc. should be stored in closed compart­
ments in the fridge (to prevent drying out).

Defrosting

The refrigerator defrosts completely auto-
matically, thus melting any ice that has
built up on the back panel. This happens
approx. twice a day depending on how
often and for how long the door is open-
ed. During the defrosting procedure the
temperature in the refrigerator rises so
that the ice on the back panel defrosts
completely. After defrosting, the tempera-
ture drops back to the original setting. The
water flows out through a drain hole and
evaporates in the collecting tray outside
the device.
Be sure to keep the collection channel and
the drainage channel clean, so that the
melted water can flow out easily.
Defrost the freezer compartment if the ice
formation becomes excessive. A thick coa-
ting of ice reduces the effectiveness of the
cold transfer to the frozen products.
Keep the frozen products as cold as pos-
sible and well insulated during the defros-
ting time, e.g. pack them in newspaper.
– Turn off the appliance by using the main
switch (3 sec.)
– Pull out the water drain hole (Figure 6)
– Place water catcher under the defrosted
water drainage channel (Figure 7)
– Leave the doors open.
Defrosting can be accelerated significantly
if you place a bowl of hot water in the fre-
ezer compartment. Attention: do not use
sharp implements to remove ice or any-
thing hard frozen. Do not use an electrical
heater or an open flame for defrosting.
– After defrosting clean the interior and
dry it thoroughly.
– Turn on the appliance by using the main
switch (3 sec.)
