Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev- ery 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 com- pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water over- flowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compart- ment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
•disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
•remove all food
•defrost5) and clean the appliance and all accessories
•leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
