Defrosting
Defrosting the cooling compartment
The cooling compartment defrosts once a day automatically.
During defrosting, the temperature in-
side the cooling compartment in-
creases so that all of the ice on the
rear wall melts. The water created
when the ice melts collects in the de-
frost channel, flows through the drain
hole and evaporates outside the appli-
ance in the evaporation tray.
When defrosting is complete, the temperature is lowered back down to the set
target temperature.
Keep the collection channel and the drain pipe clean so that the wa-
ter can flow freely.
▸ Clean the defrost drainage channel
by moving and
turning the green
cleaner inside it.
If milk has been spilt accidentally and has ended up in the defrost
drainage channel:
►
Push some kitchen towel into the drain hole and try to absorb as
much liquid as possible.
►
If more than 1 dl has flowed into the defrost drainage channel
and/or a strong odour develops after a while, call Customer
Services.
