Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment
defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of condensation or hoarfrost form
at the back of the refrigerator compart-
ment. This is quite normal. It is not
necessary to wipe off the condensation
or frost. The rear panel defrosts automa-
tically. The condensation runs into the
condensation channel, Fig. +. and is
conveyed to the refrigerating unit where
it evaporates.
Note
Keep the condensation channel and
drainage hole clean, so that the conden-
sation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically, otherwise the fro-
zen food would start thawing. A layer of
frost in the freezer compartment impairs
refrigeration of the frozen food and
increases power consumption. Remove
the layer of hoarfrost regularly.

Caution
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a
knife or pointed object. You could dam-
age the refrigerant tubes. Leaking refrig-
erant may ignite or cause eye injuries.
Proceed as follows:
Note
Approx. 4 hours before defrosting the
appliance, switch on super freezing so
that the food drops to a very low temper-
ature and can therefore be stored at
room temperature for a longer period.
1. Remove the frozen food and place
temporarily in a cool location.
2. Switch the appliance off.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove
the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process,
place a pan of hot water on a trivet in
the freezer compartment. Fig. ,
5. Wipe up condensation with a cloth
or sponge.
6. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
7. Switch the appliance on again.
8. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
