This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
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 in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
