Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment
While the appliance is running,
condensation droplets or frost form on
the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment. As the rear panel defrosts
automatically, it is not necessary to
remove the frost or the condensation
droplets. The condensation runs through
the condensation channel and the
drainage hole to the evaporation pan
where it evaporates.
Note
Keep the condensation channel and
drainage hole clean, so the
condensation can drain off. Fig. )

Freezer compartment
The fully automatic NoFrost system
ensures that the freezer compartment
remains free of ice. Defrosting is no
longer required.
