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.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided in the accessory bag.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free. This
means that there is no build up of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the
internal walls, nor on the foods.
Period of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
period, 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 doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
