The appliance needs no special defrosting
procedure, because ice deposited at the inner back
wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation is defrosted when the
compressor stops operating, and condensed
water drops are drained through the outlet in the
inner back wall into the drain pan situated above
the compressor where it evaporates. In case of
excessive ice deposits at the inner rear wall of the
refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the appliance off by
pressing the ON/OFF button and defrost it manually.
