Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator defrost automatically. The
thaw-water collects in the discharge gutter
(figure k/7) and is then conducted to the
refrigerating unit to evaporate.
Ensure that the discharge gutter and the dis-
charge outlet (figure k/19) are clean at all
times, so that water may drain unhindered.

Freezer compartment

For safety reasons, the freezer compartment
(Figure a/A) does not defrost automatically,
since the products stored in this area, are not
supposed to accidentally thaw out.
Intensive frost and ice build-up adversely
influence the cold transmission to the frozen
products and cause the rate of energy con-
sumption to increase.
Scrape off frost build-ups
To remove frost build-ups you may use the
standard frost scrapers available at most
local dealers and large supermarkets.
Ensure that the freezer compartment is not
damaged when frost is scraped. Never use
sharp or pointed items or metal utensils to
remove frost.
Allow ice coats to thaw out
If a thick ice coat has built up inside the
freezer compartment, it should be allowed to
thaw out.
If there are still frozen products in the freezer,
swicht on the freezer swicht (Fig. d/22)
about 4 hours before defrosting so that the
food is once again deep frozen.
Observe the following procedure:
•Remove frozen products, wrap up well in
newspaper and store in a cool place.
• Turn the temperature selector (Figure a/3)
to setting "O" or unplug. Do not allow
thaw water to run into the temperature
selector.
• Leave door open and wipe-up thaw water
with a cloth or sponge.
• Rub freezer compartment dry, switch
appliance on once more and reinsert
frozen products.
