Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly. Defrosting the low temperature compartment Defrost the low temperature compartment once or twice a year or when the ice formation is excessive. The amount of ice which forms and the rate at which it accumulates will depends on room temperature and humidity, and on the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. • Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. • Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. • Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/or neutral detergent. [. . . ] If the problem persists after this course of action, contact After-sales Service. • The Service number (the number after the word SERVICE on the data plate on the inside of the appliance). • Your telephone number and area code. Note: The direction of door opening can be changed. If this operation is performed by After-sales Service it is not covered by the warranty. 74 3Gb33007. fm Page 75 Monday, January 27, 2003 3:54 PM INSTALLATION • Install the appliance away from heat sources.
