Defrosting
Your appliance is frost free. This means that
there is no build up of frost when it is in
operation, neither on the internal walls nor on
the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
driven by an automatically controlled fan.

unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
