Defrosting the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically, as the frozen
food must not thaw. A layer of
hoarfrost in the freezer compartment
will impair refrigeration of the frozen
food and increase power
consumption. Remove the layer of
hoarfrost regularly.
Attention: Do not scrape off hoarfrost
or ice with a knife or pointed object.
You could damage the refrigerant
tubing. Leaking refrigerant may ignite
or cause eye injuries.
Proceed as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food and store
temporarily in a cool location.
2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the
refrigerator at the main fuse box.
3. Leave the appliance to defrost.
4. Wipe the freezer compartment dry.
5. Switch on the appliance again.
