AUTOMATIC REFRIGERATOR DEFROSTING
DEFROSTING A CONVENTIONAL FREEZER
• Defrost the freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter layer of of frost or ice has built up.
• 24 hours before defrosting, activate the super freeze function to additionally cool the
food (see section »Freezing Process«).
After this period, remove the food from the freezer and protect them from defrosting.
• Switch off the appliance (see chapter Switching the appliance on/off ) and unplug the
power cord.
• Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health.
• Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may
damage a pipe of the cooling system.
• To speed up the defrosting process, place a pot of hot water on the glass shelf.
• Clean and dry the appliance interior (see Cleaning the Appliance).
Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed
automatically.
Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. The droplets are
collected in a groove/gutter, drained trough a hole, and discharged into a tray in the
bottom of the appliance base.
If an excessive layer of ice is formed on the rear wall of refrigerator interior (3-5 mm),
switch off the appliance and defrost the appliance manually.
In this case, it is also advisable to empty the condensate tray on the bottom of the
appliance.
- Remove the cabinet kickplate.
- Reach into the openings on the
switchboard and release the latch.
- Pull the plate towards you and remove it.
- Remove the condensate tray and empty
it.
