Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment defrosts
fully automatically
While the refrigeration 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.
The condensation runs down the condensation
channels to the refrigeration unit where it evaporates.
Note
Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole
clean, so that the condensation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment does not defrost
automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start
thawing. A layer of frost in the freezer compartment
impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases
power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost
regularly.
ã
Caution
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:
Note
Approx. 4 hours before defrosting the appliance,
switch on super freezing so that the food drops
to a very low temperature and can therefore be stored
at room temperature for a longer period.
1.
Remove the frozen food and place temporarily
in a cool location.
2.
Switch off the appliance.
3.
Pull out the mains plug or remove the fuse.
4.
To accelerate the defrosting process,
place a pan of hot water on a trivet in the freezer
compartment.
5.
Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
6.
Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
7.
Switch the appliance on again.
8.
Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
