Defrosting
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 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. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4mm . During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
ds of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket; remove all food:
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent unpleasant smells.
