Refrigerator section
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator whilst it
is in use. These are automatically
removed and defrosted by the
appliance.
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 because frozen food must
not be allowed to defrost.
In normal use, ice and frost will form on
the evaporator plates. If allowed to
accumulate, this will impair the
efficiency of the freezer and increase
the consumption of electricity.
Do not scrape ice and frost off the
evaporator plates as this can
damage them and render the freezer
unusable.
The freezer section should be defrosted
from time to time. It must be defrosted if
a layer of ice approx. 1 cm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.
Before defrosting
^
Switch on the winter setting at least 4
hours 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 in a cool box, or wrap it in
several layers of newspaper or cloths
and store in a cool place until the
freezer is ready for use again.
^
Take all freezer drawers out of the
freezer section.
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the more it
defrosts.
^
Switch the appliance off with the
temperature selector, switch off at the
socket and remove the plug.
^
Open the freezer section door.
To speed up defrosting, a bowl
containing hot water (not boiling) can
be placed in the appliance. Closing the
door in this instance will help retain the
warmth and speed up the defrosting
process.
^
Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water.
