Automatic defrosting



WARNING! DANGER of injury

and damage!
Do not use any mechanical or other
types of aids which are not recom-
mended by the manufacturer to ac-
celerate the defrosting process.

Refrigerator section and Mas-
terFresh drawer

The refrigerator section and the Master-
Fresh drawer defrost automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
and the MasterFresh drawer while in
use. You do not need to remove this, as
it will defrost and evaporate automati-
cally with the warmth generated by the
appliance.

Freezer Zone

The appliance is equipped with a
“NoFrost” system. The freezer defrosts
automatically.

The moisture generated in the appli-
ance collects on the condenser and is
automatically defrosted and evaporates
periodically.

This automatic defrosting system en-
ables the freezer to remain permanently
ice-free. However, the food stored in
the freezer will not defrost.
