Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Warning! If the cabinet will be
kept on, ask somebody to check
it once in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
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.
