The absence of frosting is achieved by constant circulation of cold air inside the compartment, produced by an automatic fan blower.
The water produced by defrosting flows away - in the case of both the freezer and refrigerator compartments - through special drainage grooves into a container positioned at the back of the appliance above the compressor where it then evaporates.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Do not overfreeze the freezer baskets because this will obstruct the air flow and could result in frost forming in the freezer.
