Defrosting/Vacation
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment:
The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatical- ly. The water that forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evapo- rates automatically through the compressor heat.
Freezer compartment:
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the freezer compartment. Any moisture will collect on the evaporator and freeze. It will periodically defrost and evaporate.

It is not necessary to turn off the refrigerator and freezer if you will be away for less than four weeks.

Long vacations:
If you will be away for a month or more:

•Remove all food from the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
•Turn off the refrigerator and freezer compart- ments.
