To make these adjustments proceed as follows: Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes off, then reposition as required. 11 Defrosting During normal operation, the evaporator in the refrigerator compartment will gradually become covered with frost. This frost is a thermal insulator which inhibits cooling and must therefore be removed, otherwise there will be a significant reduction in cooling efficiency and an increase in electricity consumption. Turn the thermostat knob on position "O", making sure that the stopper of the water collector tray is firmly inserted in the water drain hole; 2. Once defrosted, turn the thermostat knob on a medium position to restart the appliance. The water which has collected in the tray placed under the evaporator must be removed.
