Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe,
into a tray located at the back of the appliance above
the compressor, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre
of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the
refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and vegetable
drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you will
find already inserted into the discharge hole.

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy
water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before
replacing.

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.
