6.1 Defrosting

6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosted
water will evaporate. Water drops or a thin layer of frost or ice
can form on the back wall; this is a completely normal part of
the machine's function.
u Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost
water to drain (see 6.2 Cleaning the appliance) .
6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment*
A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after
the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This
is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly
if the door is opened frequently or if the food is warm when
placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the
appliance's energy consumption. You should therefore defrost
the appliance regularly.
WARNING

speed up the defrosting process other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
