Refrigerator and PerfectFresh
zone
The refrigerator and the PerfectFresh
zone defrost automatically.
Condensate and frost can build up on
the back wall of the refrigerator section
and the PerfectFresh zone whilst in use.
You do not need to remove this, as it
will defrost and evaporate automatically
with the warmth generated by the
refrigerator.
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.
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. 0.5 cm thick has
accumulated. It is best to defrost when
only very little food or no food at all is
left in the freezer.
Before defrosting
^ Switch on the Super freeze function
approx.1 day 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 and place it in another
freezer, or wrap it in several layers of
newspaper or cloths with the cool
pack, and store in a cool place until
the freezer is ready for use again.
^ Take the freezer drawers out of the
freezer section.
To defrost
Carry out the defrosting procedure
as quickly as possible if food has
not been placed in another freezer.
The longer the food is left out at
room temperature, the faster it
defrosts.
^ Switch the appliance off by pressing
the master On/Off switch, switch off
at the socket and remove the plug.
The temperature displays will go out.
If this does not happen, then the
safety lock is engaged.
^ Open the freezer section door.
^ Use a sponge or towel to soak up the
defrosted water.
