The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates. It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer. ⷠLoosen the drainage channel from its resting position, push it in according to the illustration and place it in the bottom freezer drawer where water can collect · Carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to thaw.
