Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is automatic thanks to an elec- trical heater assigned to this purpose on the concealed evaporator. During defrosting, the air
The water that forms flows into a recipient on the compressor and evaporates. This recipient cannot be removed.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, mois- ture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this frost from time to time with a plastic scraper. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only a small amount of food.
Warning!
•Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep- tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
•Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the food causing skin abrasions.
