Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time.
Defrosting a NoFrost freezer
The NoFrost freezer defrosts automatically. Any frost deposits will then disappear.
Any ice or frost deposits that nevertheless form in the freezer compartment can be caused by unusual
use of the appliance(opening the door too often and too long or poorly sealing door, etc.). The freezer
will then need to be defrosted manually.
WARNING!
Switch off the appliance in the event of extreme ice formation. Remove the food in the freezer
and protect it so that it cannot partially or completely thaw. Clean and dry the interior of the freezer.
Switch on the appliance and adjust the temperature to the required setting before you put the
food back into the freezer.
WARNING!
Do not use any defrosting sprays as they may melt the plastic parts or harm your health.
WARNING!
Do not use a knife or any other sharp object to remove the frost, because you may damage a
pipe of the cooling system.
Cleaning the appliance

Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the socket before you start cleaning it.
