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 routed to a drain outlet and into a container on the compressor from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance. This precaution ensures that defrost water is removed correctly from the interior of the refrigerator compartment. Defrosting the low temperature compartment Defrost the low temperature compartment once or twice a year or when the formation of ice is excessive. It is perfectly normal for ice to form in the low temperature compartment. The amount and speed at which the ice forms depends on ambient conditions and the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the low temperature compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. If possible, defrost the low temperature compartment when it is nearly empty. • Remove the food from the low temperature compartment, wrap in sheets of 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. Put the food back into the low temperature compartment. Switch the appliance on. • • • • • • • 16 37030-GB. fm5 Page 17 Thursday, June 8, 2000 9:32 AM CARE AND MAINTENANCE • Periodically clean air vents and the condenser at the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or a brush.
