Automatic defrosting of the fridge
The removal of frost occurs automatically
when the motor compressor stops during op-
eration.
The water drains out through the drain hole
and collects in the water container where it
evaporates.
The water container is behind the appliance,
above the motor compressor.
The drain hole is in the fridge on the rear part.
To prevent water to collect in other parts of
the fridge, make sure that the drain hole is al-
ways clean. Use the cleaning tool that is in the
drain hole.

and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the layer of frost has

remove the frost.
Do not use mechanical devices to defrost the
freezer.
