DEFROSTING
Fridge compartment defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the fridge
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 off position (0) 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.
DOOR CONVERSION
If you need to hinge your door on the opposite side it is recommended that you call your local
authorised service agent to make this conversion or ask a technician.
Before you reverse the door, you should ensure the appliance is unplugged and empty. It is
recommended to use a crosshead screwdriver and a spanner (both not supplied).
