Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the
inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation;
later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water
drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain
pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
