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 salad
crisper.Use the defrost cleaner provided which you
will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
