7.2 Defrosting of the refrigerator

8. WHAT TO DO IF...

WARNING!
Before troubleshooting, disconnect
the mains plug from the mains
socket.
Only a qualified electrician or com-
petent person must do the trouble-
shooting that is not in this manual.
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 evapo-
rates.
It is important to periodically clean the de-
frost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to pre-
vent the water overflowing and dripping on-
to the food inside. Use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inser-
ted into the drain hole.
