DEFROSTING
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via a
water discharge hole, 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 salad drawer. Use
the special cleaner provided which you will
find already inserted into the discharge hole.

Normal Operating Sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at
the rear, to the cooling plate.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
