9.2 Defrosting the appliance
WARNING
Improper defrosting of the appliance!
Injuries and damage.
u Do not use mechanical equipment or other methods to
speed up the defrosting process other than those recom‐
mended by the manufacturer.
u Do not use electrical heating or steam-cleaning appli‐
ances, naked flames or defroster sprays to defrost.
u Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
Defrosting is performed automatically. The water from the
thawing process drains through the outlet and evaporates.
Water drops or a thin layer of frost or ice can form on the
back wall; this is a completely normal part of the applian‐
ce's function. This must not be removed.

the
drain
opening
