8.2 Defrosting the appliance
WARNING
Improper defrosting of the appliance!
Injuries and damage.

speed up the defrosting process other than those recom‐
mended by the manufacturer.
u Do not use electrical heating or steam-cleaning appli‐
ances, naked flames or defroster sprays to defrost.

Water drops or a thin layer of frost or ice can form on the
back wall; this is a completely normal part of the applian‐
ce's function. This must not be removed.
A layer of frost or ice can from briefly due to the energy-
optimised control of the device.

appliance) .
