Defrosting
The larder refrigerator defrosts automatically.
The defrosting water runs to the drain tube via
a collection channel and is evaporated in a
special container at the back of the appliance.
(Item 5).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at
the back of the larder refrigerator where a
concealed evaporator is located. Some
droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze
when defrosting is completed. Do not use
pointed or sharp-edged objects such as
knives or forks to remove the droplets which
have refrozen.
If, at any time, the defrost water does not
drain from the collection channel, check that
no food particles have blocked the drain tube.
The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the
special plastic plunger provided down the
drain tube.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with
its end in the collecting tray on the compressor
to prevent the water spilling on the electric
installation or on the floor (Item 6).
Replacing the interior light bulb
Should the light fail, switch off at the socket
outlet and pull out the mains plug.
Then ensure the bulb is screwed securely in
the bulb holder. Replace the plug and switch
on.
If the light still fails, obtain a replacement E14
screw-cap type 15 Watt (Max) bulb from your
local electrical store and then fit it.
Carefully dispose of the burnt-out light bulb
immediately.
Repositioning the door
Proceed in numerical order (Item 7).
