Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops.The water is discharged, via the pipe, into
a tray located at the back of the appliance above the
compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of
the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator
compartment behind the fruit and vegetable drawer. Use the
defrost cleaner provided which you will find already
inserted into the discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water
at regular intervals. Dry throughly before replacing.
Freezer
Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need
to manually defrost your appliance as this will be carried out
