Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time.
Defrosting of the NoFrost freezer
(model RFN31831I)
The NoFrost freezer defrosts automatically. Any frost deposits will then disappear.
Any ice or frost deposits that nevertheless form in the freezer compartment can be caused by
unusual use of the appliance (opening the door too often and too long or poorly sealing door,
etc.). The freezer will then need to be defrosted manually.
Defrosting a conventional freezer
(model RF31831I)
• Defrost the freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre layer of frost or ice has built up.
• 24 hours before defrosting, activate the intensive cooling/freezing function to additionally
cool the food.
After this period, remove the food in the freezer and protect it so that it cannot partially or
completely thaw.
• Switch off the appliance (see chapter ‘Operating the appliance’) and unplug the power cord.
Defrosting the appliance
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.
