5.3 DefrostingYour appliance is frost free. This meansthat there is no build up of frost when itis in operation, neither on the internalwalls nor on the foods. The absence offrost is due to the continuous circulationof cold air inside the compartment,driven by an automatically controlled fan.The defrost water drains out through atrough into a special container at theback of the appliance, over the motorcompressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean thedefrost water drain hole in the middle ofthe refrigerator compartment channel toprevent the water overflowing anddripping onto the food inside.
