Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is usually no need to defrost the refrigerator, because the ice deposited on
the inner back wall is automatically defrosted.
Ice deposits on the inner back wall during compressor operation; later on, when
the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water drains through the
outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor
where it evaporates. If you see water building up in the rear of the unit, check
that the drain trough is not clogged. Use a pipe cleaner or a piece of flexible wire.
During extremely hot and humid weather some ice may build up. If necessary,
remove contents of the refrigerator, turn the thermostat to 0 and allow defrosting.
A hair dryer may facilitate the process.
