Defrosting

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment does not defrost
automatically. A layer of hoarfrost in the
freezer compartment will impair
refrigeration of the frozen food and
increase power consumption. Regularly
defrost the freezer compartment.
Attention!
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a
knife or pointed object. You could
damage the refrigerant tubes. Leaking
refrigerant may ignite or cause eye
injuries.
Proceed as follows
1. Remove the frozen food and store
temporarily in a cool location.
2. Switch off the appliance.
3. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the
fuse.
4. Leave the appliance to defrost.
5. Wipe up the condensation and rub dry.
6. Switch on the appliance again.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
Defrosting aids
You can accelerate the defrosting
process by placing a pan of hot water in
the freezer compartment. Place the pan
on a heat insulating base!
Warning!
Never use electrical appliances or naked
flames to defrost the freezer
compartment, e. g. heaters, steam
cleaners, candles, kerosene lamps, etc.
Caution when using defrosting sprays:
S Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases.
S Defrosting sprays may contain solvents
or propellants which attack plastic.
S Defrosting sprays may be a health
hazard.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Refrigerator compartment
defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of condensation or hoarfrost form
at the back of the refrigerator
compartment. This is quite normal. It is
not necessary to wipe off the
condensation or frost. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the condensation channel.
Fig. 4
The condensation runs down the
condensation channels to the refrigerating
unit where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel
and drain hole clean so that the
condensation can drain.
