Defrosting

Refrigerator section

The refrigerator defrosts automatically.

Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the refrigerator.

The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance.

Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance.

Freezer compartment

(depending on model)

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically because frozen food must not be allowed to defrost.

In normal use, ice and frost will form on the evaporator. If allowed to accumulate, this will impair the efficiency of the freezer and increase the consumption of electricity.

Do not scrape ice and frost off the evaporator as this can damage it and render the appliance unusable.

The freezer compartment should be defrosted from time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has accumulated. It is best to defrost when only very little food or no food at all is left in the freezer compartment.

Before defrosting

^Remove the frozen food from the freezer compartment and place it in another freezer or cool box, or wrap it in several layers of newspaper or cloths,

^and store it in a cool place until the freezer compartment is ready for use again.
