12.1 Defrosting in the refri-
gerator compartment
When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas-
ons. The back panel in the refriger-
ator compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
Condensation runs through the con-
densation channel into the drainage
hole to the evaporation pan and does
not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:
Cleaning the condensation channel
and drainage hole → Page 20 .
12.2 Defrosting in the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically. A layer of hoar-
frost in the freezer compartment im-
pairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer com-
partment.

prox. four hours before defrosting.

cess, place a pan of hot, but not
boiling, water on a trivet in the
