DefrosTing/VaCaTion
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment:
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatical-
ly. The water that forms on the rear wall drains into
a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evapo-
rates automatically through the compressor heat.
Freezer compartment:
The No-frost system automatically defrosts the
freezer compartment. Any moisture will collect on
the evaporator and freeze. It will periodically defrost
and evaporate.

It is not necessary to turn off the refrigerator and
freezer if you will be away for less than four weeks.

Long vacations:

chapter "Ice Maker at Vacations" - page 21.
• Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.

ments.
