HOW TO DEFROST THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
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 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. Also see �Maintenance and Cleaning�. .

HOW TO CLEAN AND DEFROST THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrost the freezer compartment at least twice a year and whenever the formation of ice is excessive. It is perfectly normal for ice to form. 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 compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. If possible, defrost the freezer compartment when it is nearly empty. � Remove the food from the freezer compartment wrap in newspaper and store together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. Unplug the appliance. Leave the compartment door open to allow the ice on the walls to melt. Remove the defrost water from the bottom of the freezer compartment. Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive products. Note: Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to scrape off ice; do not heat the freezer compartment artificially. � Wipe down the interior and dry thoroughly. � Put the food back into the freezer compartment. � Close the door. � � Plug in the appliance again. Switch the appliance on.
