door seal may lead to heavy frosting and thereby to a higher power
consumption (see also ãWhat to do if...Ò).

the rear of the fridge, feed through the drain hole into the collector
on the compressor, and then evaporated.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section
Cleaning and Maintenance).
