Refrigerator compartment

D e f r o s t i n g
While the refrigerating unit is running, condensation
droplets or frost form on the rear panel. This is due to
functional reasons. It is not necessary to wipe off the
condensation droplets or frost. The rear panel defrosts
automatically. The condensation drains off into the
condensation channel.
The condensation runs from the condensation channel to
the evaporation pan where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole
clean so that the condensation can drain and odours do
not form.

Freezer compartment

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