Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is
completely automatic.
•
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment indicate that the
periodic automatic defrost cycle is in
progress.
•
The defrost water is routed to a drain outlet
and into a container from which it evaporates.
•
Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly
using the tool supplied with the appliance.
This precaution ensures that defrost water is
removed correctly from the interior of the
refrigerator compartment.
•

.
Defrost the freezer compartment at least
twice a year and whenever the formation of
ice is excessive.
It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The
amount and speed at which the ice forms
depends on ambient conditions and the
frequency with which the door is opened. Ice
formation is concentrated at the top of the
compartment and does not affect the
efficiency of the appliance.
If possible, defrost the freezer compartment
when it is nearly empty.

Remove the food from the freezer
compartment wrap in newspaper and store
