Before defrosting the appliance, unplug it
or switch off the power at the mains.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment
is completely automatic. Droplets of
water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic
automatic defrost cycle is in progress.
The defrost water is automatically routed
to a drain outlet and into a container from
which it evaporates.
Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly
using the tool supplied with the appliance
inordertoensuredefrostwaterisremoved
correctly. (Fig. 1)

amount of ice which forms and the rate at
whichitaccumulateswillvarydependingon
ambient conditions and the frequency with
which the freezer door is opened. Ice formation
is concentrated at the top of the compartment
and does not affect the efficiency of the
appliance.
If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly
empty.
