   Defrosting

12

The air humidity in the vegetable 

container can be set according to 

the type and amount of products to be 

stored:

Mainly fruit as well as for a large 

load – set lower air humidity

Mainly vegetables as well as for 

a mixed load or small load – set 

higher air humidity

Notes

Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. 

pineapple, banana, papaya and 

citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive 

to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, 

zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and 

potatoes) should be stored outside 

the refrigerator at temperatures of 

approx. +8 °C – +12 °C for optimum 

preservation of quality and flavour.  

Condensation may form in the 

vegetable container depending on 

the food and quantity stored.

Remove condensation with a dry 

cloth and adjust air humidity in the 

vegetable container with 

the humidity controller.

 Defrosting

Defrosti

ng

Refrigerator compartment

While the refrigerating unit is running, 

condensation droplets or frost form on 

the rear panel. This is due to functional 

reasons. It is not necessary to wipe off 

the condensation droplets or frost. The 

rear panel defrosts automatically. The 

condensation drains off into the 

condensation channel.

~

 Fig. 

,

The condensation runs from the 

condensation channel to the 

evaporation pan where it evaporates.

Note:  

Keep the condensation channel 

and drainage hole clean so that the 

condensation can drain and odours do 

not form.
