DEFROSTING
Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of
condensation or hoarfrost from at the back of the
refrigerator compartment. This is normal. It is not
necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear
panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into
the condensation channel and is conveyed to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
Note:
Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole
clean, so that the condensation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically,
otherwise the frozen food would start thawing.
A layer of frost in the freezer compartment impairs
refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power
consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
WARNING:
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife
or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant
tubes.
1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool
location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the o position and
disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot
water on a stand in the freezer compartment.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5.Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control
knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.
