8.3 Defrosting of the
appliance
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, next to the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
