1. Loosen the upper edge of the grille by
pulling outward/downward.

Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, dur-
ing normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a drain hole into a special container
at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refriger-
ator compartment channel to prevent the
water overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
• switch off the appliance and pull out the
plug from the wall socket
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the drawers,
e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing
bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the
freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its rest-
ing position, push it in according to the il-
lustration and place it in the bottom freezer
drawer where water can collect
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe
the cabinet dry, then put the drainage
channel back in place.
