Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops.The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and
vegetable drawer.Use the defrost cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals.Dr y throughly before
replacing.
Freezer
Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no
need to manually defrost your appliance as this will
be carried out automatically.
