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 appliance.
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
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically.
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, and
do not not use any sharp edged or
pointed instruments to aid the
defrosting process.
They will damage the evaporator,
causing irreversible damage to the
appliance.
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 appliance.
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.
