Defrosting

The fridge defrosts automatically

Defrosting of the
trical heater assigned to this purpose on the concealed evaporator.
During defrosting, the air re-circulation fan is off.
The water that forms flows into a recipient on the compressor and
evaporates. This recipient cannot be removed.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
During use and when the freezer compartment door is opened, mois-
ture is deposited in the freezer compartment as frost. Remove this
frost from time to time with the soft plastic scraper. Under no circum-
stances use hard or pointed objects to remove frost.
The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of
frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least
once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty
or contains only a small amount of food.
Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or
artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the excep-
tion of those recommended in these operating instructions.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health
and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
stick to the food causing skin abrasions.
