11.3 Defrosting

Automatic defrosting in the refrigerating compartment
The refrigerated area is equipped with an automatic defrosting system. Frost and ice
defrost automatically. The condensation flows through the channel into the defrosting
hole and out into a condensation bowl on the rear of the appliance. The heat from the
motor evaporates the condensation.
Set the temperature so that the appliance does not constantly cool down – without a
defrost phase. The temperature in the refrigerator drops (to below 0°C) and drinks and
fresh food freeze. The icing of the rear wall causes the energy consumption to rise very
sharply and the appliance efficiency drops.
➢ If the condensation does not run properly through the drain line
➢ There must be no water on the floor or in contact with electrical

Manual defrosting in the freezer compartment

After prolonged operation, a frost or ice layer may form in the freezer compartment. If
this ice layer reaches a thickness of 6 – 8 mm, defrost and clean the freezer
compartment. An excessive frost or ice layer increases the energy consumption. Before
defrosting, set the temperature regulator to the highest settings; the frozen goods store
the cold for a certain length of time.
1. Pull out the mains plug.
2. Empty the appliance and store the goods in a cool room.
3. For faster defrosting, place a vessel with warm water into the freezer
compartment.
4. Do not use mechanical objects to remove the ice layer.
5. First remove the large pieces of ice, then the small pieces from the appliance.
6. Clean the freezer compartment, including the interior parts, using a cloth and
luke-warm water with a little household detergent.
7. Rinse with clear water and wipe dry.
8. After cleaning, connect the appliance to the mains power supply again and switch
on.
If grease or oil has got on the door seals: Clean the seals
immediately, using a cloth and luke-warm water with a little
household detergent.
