Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

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.
~ Fig. (
The condensation runs from the
condensation channel to the
evaporation pan where it evaporates.
30
Keep the condensation channel
Note:
and drainage hole clean so that the
condensation can drain and odours do
not form.

Freezer compartment

As the frozen food may not start
thawing, the freezer compartment does
not defrost automatically. A layer of
hoarfrost in the freezer compartment
impairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Remove the layer of frost regularly!
■
Caution!
Avoid any damage to the pipes of the
refrigeration circuit.
If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your
eyes or ignite.
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice
■
with a knife or pointed object.

Switch on the Super function approx.
1.
4 hours before defrosting.

stored for longer at room
temperature.
Remove the frozen food and place
