reason it is recommended that the outer cas-

Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, dur-
ing normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole (F) situated under the salad
drawers to prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside. Use the special
cleaner provided (P), which you will find al-
ready inserted into the drain hole.
