Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost from
at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is normal.
It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts
automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel and is
conveyed to the refrigerating 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.
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this
may damage the refrigerant tubes.
1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the 0 position and disconnect the mains
plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in
the freezer compartment.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartment.
