6 Maintenance
6.1 Defrosting
6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The
water evaporates. Drops of water on the rear wall are function-
ally conditioned and perfectly normal.
u Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost
water to drain (see 6.2) .
6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment*
A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after
the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This
is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly if
the door is opened frequently or if the food is warm when
placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the
appliance‘s energy consumption. You should therefore defrost
the appliance regularly.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!
u Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames
or defrosting sprays for defrosting.
u Do not remove ice using sharp instruments.
u Switch off the appliance.
u Pull out the plug.
u Wrap the frozen food in newspaper or blankets and store in
a cool place.
u Leave the compartment and appliance door open during
defrosting.
u Remove detached pieces of ice.
u If necessary, pick up defrost water several times, using a
sponge or cloth.
u Clean the compartment (see 6.2) .
