Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator

of the refrigerator compartment 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, over the

motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost

water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator

compartment channel to prevent the water

overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided, which you will

find already inserted into the drain hole.

The freezer compartment, however, will become

progressively covered with frost. This should be

removed with the special plastic scraper provided,

whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.

During this operation it is not necessary to switch off

the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
