Defrosting

Defrosting
Observe the information when you
want to defrost your appliance.
Defrosting in the refrigerator
compartment
When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas-
ons. The back panel in the refriger-
ator compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
Condensation or frost run through the
condensation channel into the drain-
age hole to the evaporation pan and
do not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:
→ "Cleaning the condensation chan-
nel and drainage hole", Page 27.
Defrosting in the freezer com-
partment
As the frozen food must not start
thawing, the freezer compartment
does not defrost automatically. A
layer of hoarfrost in the freezer com-
partment impairs refrigeration of the
frozen food and increases power
consumption.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer com-
partment.
Switch on Super freezing approx.
1.
four hours before defrosting.
→ "Switching on manual Super
freezing", Page 21
This means that the food reaches
very low temperatures and it can
be stored for longer at room tem-
perature.
