7.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment during normal use. The
defrost water drains out through a trough
into a special container at the back of the
appliance, over the motor compressor,
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
dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided with the appliance.
7.4 Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free.
This means that there is no build up of
frost when it is in operation, neither on
the internal walls, nor on the foods.
7.5 Replacing the CleanAir filter
The CleanAir filter is an active carbon
filter which absorbs bad odours and
permits to maintain the best flavour and
aroma for all foodstuffs without risk of
odour cross contamination.
The air filter should be
handled carefully to prevent
its surface from being
scratched.
