Defrosting

Refrigerator and "cool-fresh"
compartments
Defrosting is actuated automatically.
While the refrigeration unit is running,
water droplets or hoarfrost form
at the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment. This is nothing unusual. It
is not necessary to wipe off the water
droplets or hoarfrost. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The condensation
drains off into the condensation channel,
Fig. ,. From there the condensation
drains off down the condensation
channels to the refrigeration unit 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.
