Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev -
ery 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, over the motor com -
pressor, 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 over -
flowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use
the special cleaner provided, which you will find
already inserted into the drain hole.
Periods of non - operation

•
disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• remove all food

inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
