Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means
that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on
the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compart-
ment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
No-Frost technology
In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the evaporator is assisted by electric heat-
ing during the defrosting procedure. The ventilator is in OFF position. The defrost water will
drip in the tray placed at the compressor and will evaporate. In the course of the defrosting
procedure (approx. 30 minutes) the evaporator becomes warm but it has no influence on
the internal temperature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in order to avoid any moisture loss as a result of air
circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes.
It is recommended to put all foods in the baskets in the freezer compartment.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the lid open to prevent unpleasant smells.

inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
