Defrosting of the refrigerator
WHAT TO DO IF...
Warning! Before troubleshooting,
disconnect the mains plug from the
mains socket.
Problem
The appliance is noisy
The appliance does not
operate. The lamp does
not operate.
The lamp does not work.
The compressor oper-
ates continually.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special contain-
er at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
partment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food in-
side. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into the
drain hole.
