Refrigerator section
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
whilst it is in use. These are
automatically removed and defrosted
by the appliance.
The condensate is drained away via a
channel and drain hole into an
evaporation system at the back of the
appliance.
Ensure that the condensate channel
and drain hole are kept clean and
are never blocked so that
condensate can flow away without
hindrance.
Freezer section
The freezer section does not defrost
automatically because frozen food must
not be allowed to defrost.
In normal use, ice and frost will form on
the evaporator. If allowed to
accumulate, this will impair the
efficiency of the freezer and increase
the consumption of electricity.
Do not scrape ice and frost off the
evaporator as this can damage it
and render the appliance unusable.
The freezer section should be defrosted
from time to time. It must be defrosted if
a layer of ice approx. 1 cm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer section.
Before defrosting
^ Switch on the winter setting at least 4
hours before defrosting to ensure
frozen food retains its cold reserve for
longer when taken out of the freezer.
^ Remove the frozen food from the
freezer section and place it in
another freezer or cool box, or wrap it
in several layers of newspaper or
cloths. If you have any cool packs,
place these directly on top of the
frozen food and store it in a cool
place until the freezer is ready for use
again.
