Defrosting
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 automatically controlled fan.
