7.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal 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 periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole (F) situated under
the salad drawers to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside. Use the special cleaner provided
(P), which you will find already inserted
into the drain hole.
