defrosting
Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosting water runs to the drain tray at the back of the appliance via the collection channel and drain tube.
During defrosting, water droplets may from at the back of the fridge compartment where the concealed evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on the liner and
this is normal. Do not use pointed or sharp edged objects, such as knives or forks, to remove the droplets which have frozen.
If at any time the defrost water does not drain from the collection channel, check to ensure that no food particles have blocked the drain channel. The drain tube can be cleared by pushing the special plastic plunger provided down the drain tube. If the frost layer reaches about 1/4 “ (7mm), reduce the setting (ie from 4 to 2) to restart automatic defrosting.
