Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator defrosts automatically: defrost water is ducted out of the back of the appliance through a special outlet hole (see diagram) to an external container. Heat produced by the compressor causes the water to evaporate from the container.

It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. Do not use any tools that may damage the refrigerator.
