WARNING! Perform maintenance operaons only when the product is
switched o and disconnected from power sources.
Isotherm Built-In products are equipped with closed cooling systems, which do not
require maintenance or refrigerant rells.
3.1 Defrosng
Since the evaporator operates at temperatures well below freezing, ice and frost will
inevitably form upon it.
The humidity in the air, the temperature and the number of mes the door is opened
will have a signicant impact on frost formaon.
The product should always be defrosted when the layer of frost on the evaporator
reaches a thickness of 3-4 mm or more.
Switch o the product by turning the thermostat knob.
Defrosng should be performed when the products can remain as cool as possible
outside of the product compartment. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice and frost
from the evaporator, as this could damage it and result in leaks.
Only turn product back on once it has been defrosted, cleaned and thoroughly dried.
Some models are equipped with a hole at the base of the inside drawer to facilitate
condensate discharge. A towel can be placed at the base of the product during the
defrosng procedure in order to facilitate water collecon.
