Defrosting
Refrigerator section and
DailyFresh drawer
The refrigerator section and the
DailyFresh drawer defrost automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst the compressor is running. You
do not need to remove this.
The condensate drains through a chan-
nel and drain hole into an evaporation
system at the back of the refrigeration
appliance. The warmth generated by
the compressor causes the condensate
to evaporate automatically.
Keep the condensate channel and
drain hole clean to enable this. Con-
densate must be able to drain away
unhindered at all times.

Defrosting the freezer section
The freezer does not defrost automatic-
ally.
In normal use, ice and frost will form in
the freezer, e.g. on the internal walls.
How much ice and frost accumulates in
the appliance will depend on the follow-
ing:
- Whether the freezer door has been
opened frequently and/or left open
for a while
- Whether a large quantity of food has
been placed in the freezer at once
- Whether the humidity in the room has
increased
Too thick a layer of ice will make it hard
to open freezer drawers, and in certain
circumstances can prevent the freezer
door from closing properly. Too thick a
layer of ice also reduces cooling per-
formance and thus increases energy
consumption.
The freezer should be defrosted from
time to time. It must be defrosted if a
layer of ice approx. 0.5 cm thick has
accumulated.
Tip: It is best to defrost when only very
few or no frozen food at all are left in
the freezer or the humidity level and the
ambient temperature in the room are
low.
