Defrosting the refrigeratorThe refrigerator is designed for automatic defrost-ing. Frost formed on the back wall will melt andflow via the drainpipe to the evaporating containerover the compressor on the back of the refrigera-tor, where the heat generated by the compressorwill evaporate the water. It is normal for frost andwater droplets to form on the back wall of thefreezer.Caution: Always keep the drain over the vegetable and fruit tray clear to ensurethe normal flow of defrosted water. Use the pin provided to clear any blockages.DefrostingDefrostingDefrostingDefrostingDefrostingWater OutletCleaning Rod16Defrosting the freezer* * Manual defrosting is required for the freezer. Aftera period of operation, a layer of frost will form on theevaporator in the freezer compartment. Additionalelectricity will be consumed if this layer becomes toothick.* The defrosting process must be carried out when athick layer of frost has been formed on the evapora-tor.* Disconnect the power. Remove all the food and thenthe drawers from the refrigerator before defrosting. Abowl of hot water can be placed on the evaporator toaccelerate the defrosting process.Caution: Never use a metal tool or electrical heater for defrosting.
