6.3 Defrosting the refrigerator

6.4 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always
form on the freezer shelves and around
the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor com-
pressor stops, during normal use. The
defrost water drains out through a drain
hole into a special container at the back
of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and drip-
ping onto the food inside.
About 12 hours prior to defrost-
ing, set the Temperature regula-
tor toward higher settings, in or-
der to build up sufficient chill re-
serve for the interruption in op-
eration.
