5.2 Defrosting of the refrigerator

5.3 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The de-
frost water drains out through a trough
into a special container at the back of
the appliance, over the motor compres-
sor, where it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the wa-
ter overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside. Use the special cleaner pro-
vided, which you will find already inser-
ted into the drain hole.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature regula-
tor toward higher settings, in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in oper-
ation.
