Maintenance Defrosting. BORETTI BRA88

Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Maintenance

GB

Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go to the insulating of the appliance.

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.

Defrosting

Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator.

Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases and it needs more energy.

At this type of appliance defrosting cooling compartment is automatic without any external intervention.

The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - temperature of the cooling compartment increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.

Melting water flows through defrost water outlet into the evaporative tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.

Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe scraper has to be stored in the outlet.

Occasionally check the defrost water outlet not to be clogged up.

The most typical case of clogging up in the defrost water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of cooling compartment and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be careful - because of the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.

In case of increased demand e.g.

during heatwaves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to operate constantly - during this the automatic defrosting is ineffective.

Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of the cooling compartment after defrosting period is not abnormal.
