Refrigerator and PerfectFresh
zone
The refrigerator and the PerfectFresh
zone defrost automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use.
You do not need to remove this, as it
will defrost and evaporate automatically
with the warmth generated by the
refrigerator.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without
hindrance.
Freezer section
The freezer section does not defrost
automatically.
In normal use, ice and frost will form in
the freezer section, e.g. on the internal
walls. How much ice and frost
accumulates in the appliance will
depend on the following factors:
– The appliance door has been
opened frequently or left open for a
while.
– A large quantity of fresh food has
been placed in the freezer at once.
– There has been an increase in the
humidity in the room.
Too thick a layer of ice will make it hard
to remove freezer drawers, and in
certain circumstances can prevent the
door from closing properly. Too thick a
layer of ice reduces efficiency and
increases energy consumption.
^
The freezer should be defrosted from
time to time. It must be defrosted if a
layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has
accumulated.
The best time to defrost the freezer is
when:
– there is very little food or no food left
in the freezer,
– the humidity level in the room is low
and the ambient temperature in the
room is also low.
Do not scrape off ice and frost and
do not not use any sharp edged or
pointed instruments to aid the
defrosting process.
This would damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
Before defrosting
^
Switch on the Super freeze function
approx.1 day before defrosting to
ensure frozen food retains its cold
reserve for longer when taken out of
the freezer.
^
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer and place it in another
freezer, or wrap it in several layers of
newspaper or cloths with the cool
pack, and store in a cool place until
the freezer is ready for use again.
