Defrosting the refrigerator

NOTICE!
A
Never use hard or sharp tools to remove ice or to free objects
frozen onto the device.
This can damage the refrigerator.
NOTE
I
In high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator may operate contin-
uously, which can lead to excessive formation of frost on the rear
wall of the refrigerator compartment. In this event, turn the rotary
control (fig. 3 7, page 4) to a lower level ("1" or "2").
Humidity can form frost in the interior of the cooling device or on the
vaporiser. This reduces the cooling capacity. The refrigerator compartment
is defrosted automatically while the compressor is not running.
A slight film of frost, or droplets of water, could be deposited in the interior of
the refrigerator when it has been cooling for longer periods. This is normal
because the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in
the cooler falls. The refrigerator is not defective. Wipe it out with a dry cloth.
If the film of frost is thicker than 3 mm, you should defrost the refrigerator
compartment.
Proceed as follows to defrost the refrigerator:
➤ Empty the contents.
➤ If necessary, put them in another cooling device to keep them chilled.
➤ Turn the rotary control (fig. 3 7, page 4) to "0".
➤ Open the doors.
➤ Place a suitable receptacle under the freezer compartment.
➤ Take out the lever (fig. 3 9, page 4) so that the water can drain off.
➤ Wipe off the condensate.
