Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically removed from the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment 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, located over the motor compressor, where it evapo-
rates.

Reversing the door
The side the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjust-
ment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.
Warning!
When changing the side the door opens, the appliance must not
be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.
The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight
and away from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to
a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these tem-
peratures are exceeded i.e. warmer or colder, then the appliance may not
operate correctly.
