Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means
that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on
the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compart-
ment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
