Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time
the compressor stops.
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 special cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole (Fig. 13).
Fig. 13
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot
soapy water at regular intervals. Dry thoroughly
before replacing.

Freezer
The freezer compartment of this model is of the
«frost-free» type. This means that no frosting
occurs on the inner walls of the compartment or on
food during operation.
The absence of frosting is achieved by constant
circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
produced by an automatic fan blower.
The water produced by defrosting flows away - in
the case of both the freezer and refrigerator
compartments - through special drainage grooves
into a container positioned at the back of the
appliance above the compressor where it then
evaporates.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage
life.
