Defrosting your Appliance
Fridge
The fridge defrosts automatically.
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off.
The defrost water is collected in the drain channel on the rear of the
fridge, fed through the drain hole into the collection compartment in
the base and then evaporated.
The drain hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Maintenance
and Cleaning".
Freezer compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, moi-
sture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Under no cir-
cumstances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should be defrosted regularly (approximately
every two month) or when a layer of frost accumulates (approx. 4 mm).
