The appliance needs no special defrosting
procedure, because ice deposited at the inner back
wall is defrosted automatically. Ice deposited on the
inner back wall during the compressor operation is
defrosted when the compressor stops operating,
and condensed water drops are drained through
the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan
situated above the compressor where it evaporates.
In case of excessive ice deposits at the inner
rear wall of the refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the
appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button and
defrost it manually.
•
Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the
freezer reaches thickness of around 3-5 mm.
•

intensive freezing knob (see section Control of
particular models - Intensive freezing), to quickly
freeze freshly inserted food. After that empty the
freezer and take care that the packages remain
frozen.

Switch the appliance off by turning the
temperature selector (A) to the mark .

To drain defrost water pull the funnel shaped
groove at the bottom of the appliance out, and
place a convenient vessel underneath to collect
the defrost water.

Never use powered appliances to defrost the
freezer (hair dryer, etc.).
•
Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.

Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry
(see chapter Cleaning).
•
Before reloading food into the freezer switch the
appliance on.

Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic.
