Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of condensation or hoarfrost form
at the back of the refrigerator
compartment. This is quite normal. It
is not necessary to wipe off
the condensation or frost. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the condensation channel,
Fig. (. and is conveyed
to the refrigerating unit where
it evaporates.
Note
Keep the condensation channel
and drainage hole clean, so
that the condensation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment
does not defrost automatically, otherwise
the frozen food would start thawing.
A layer of frost in the freezer
compartment impairs
refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.

Caution
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice
with a knife or pointed object. You could
damage the refrigerant tubes. Leaking
refrigerant may ignite or cause eye
injuries.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food and place
temporarily in a cool location.
2. Switch the appliance off.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove
the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process,
place a pan of hot water on a trivet in
the freezer compartment. Fig. )
5. Wipe up condensation with a cloth
or sponge.
6. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
7. Switch the appliance on again.
8. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
