Defrosting
Observe the information when you
want to defrost your appliance.
Defrosting in the freezer com-
partment

thawing, the freezer compartment
does not defrost automatically. A

partment impairs refrigeration of the
frozen food and increases power
consumption.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer com-
partment.
Switch on Fast freezing approx.
