Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evap-
orator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor stops, during nor-
mal use. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container at the back of
the appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
It is important to peri-
odically clean the de-
frost water drain hole
(F) situated under the
salad drawers to pre-
vent the water over-
flowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
Use the special
cleaner provided (P),
which you will find al-
ready inserted into
the drain hole.
