Defrosting - Zanussi ZT 52 Instruction Booklet

DEFROSTING

While in operation the
becomes progressively covered with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus pre-
vents the cold from reaching the food should be
removed whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds
1/4".
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Push the conveyor completely in.
2. Place a tray on the upper shelf of the refrigerator
under the drain hole of the conveyor.
3. Remove any food from inside the
partment, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper
and store in a cool dry place.
4. Push the button at the centre of the thermostat
knob. To accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot
water inside the compartment (with a piece of
cardboard underneath the bowl as protection).
5. When defrosting is completed, dry thoroughly and
remove the water collected in the tray.
The refrigerator starts operating automatically fol-
lowing defrosting.
After letting the appliance run for at least half an hour,
replace the previously removed food into the
star compartment.
When defrosting it is not necessary to remove the
foods from the inner door and the refrigerator com-
partment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs
during defrosting may shorten their storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it
beyond repair.
