Defrosting
The refrigerator automatically defrost every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into
the fridge, periodically clean the water
discharge hole in the centre of the V
shaped drip collector at the back of the
refrigerator compartment behind the fruit
and vegetable drawers. Use the special
cleaner provided which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing
at the rear, to the cooling evaporator.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or
pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and
out.
