Defrosting the freezer compartment

the freezer compartment will impair refrigeration of the
frozen food and increase power consumption. Remove
the layer of hoarfrost regularly.

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 place temporarily in
a cool location.

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 and is conveyed to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel and drain hole
clean so that the condensation can drain.
