Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand,
is a "no frost" type. This means that there is no buildup 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 automati-
cally controlled fan.
