D e f r o s t i n g
While the refrigerating unit is running, condensation
droplets or frost form on the rear panel. This is due to
functional reasons. It is not necessary to wipe off the
condensation droplets or frost. The rear panel defrosts
automatically. The condensation drains off into the
condensation channel.
The condensation runs from the condensation channel
to the evaporation pan where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel and drainage
hole clean so that the condensation can drain and
odours do not form.
