Defrosting

Refrigerator and "cool-fresh"
compartments
Defrosting is actuated automatically.
While the refrigeration unit is running,
water droplets or hoarfrost form
at the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment. This is nothing unusual. It
is not necessary to wipe off the water
droplets or hoarfrost. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The condensation
drains off into the condensation channel,
Fig. ,. From there the condensation
drains off down the condensation
channels to the refrigeration unit where it
evaporates.
Note
Keep the condensation channel
and drainage hole clean, so the
condensation can drain off. Fig. ,

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.

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 the appliance off.
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.
