Deicing the refrigerator compartment
• De-icing automatically starts in the refrigerator compartment when it is in operation.
Water is recovered by the evaporation pan and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation pan and the water outlet should be cleaned periodically using the drain rod,
to prevent water from stagnating at the bottom of the refrigerator (instead of running out).
• It is also possible to clean the water outlet by pouring half a glass of water into it.
Deicing the freezer
• Small amounts of frost accumulate inside the freezer, depending on how long the door
is left open or how much moisture is introduced. It is important to avoid the formation of
frost or ice in zones that may affect the door seal closure mechanism. This could allow
air inside the appliance, which will make the compressor run continuously. Thin soft
accumulated layers of frost can be removed using a plastic brush or scraper. Do not use
metal objects, sharp scrapers, mechanical tools or other appliances to speed up the
defrosting process. Remove any frost from the surface of the cabinet. There is no need
to stop the appliance to remove thin layers of ice.
• To remove heavy ice, please unplug the appliance. Empty the contents into cardboard
boxes packed in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep it cool. De-icing is more effective
