Defrosting

The fridge defrosts automatically

The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the
thawing frost evaporates by itself.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section
"Cleaning and Care").
Correct storage
For physical reasons, there are differ-
ent temperature regions in the
fridge. The coldest region is on the
lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions
are the top storage shelf, the veg-
etable drawer and the storage com-
partments on the door.
The arrangement example shows at
which places in the refrigerator suit-
able temperatures for various types
of foods exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always
be covered or packaged, to prevent
drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.
