Disconnecting the appliance
If you do not use the appliance
for a prolonged period:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Pull out mains plug or switch off fuse.
3. Clean the appliance.
4. Leave the appliance door open.
Defrosting
Refrigerator compartment
defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of condensation or hoarfrost
form at the back of the refrigerator
compartment. This is quite normal.
It is not necessary to wipe off the
condensation or frost. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the condensation channel,
Fig. +. and is conveyed to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates.
Note
Keep the condensation channel
and drainage hole clean, so that the
condensation can run out.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically, otherwise the
frozen food would start thawing. A layer
of frost in the freezer compartment
impairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.
ã=
Caution
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with
a knife or pointed object. You could
damage the refrigerant tubes.
Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause
eye injuries.
Proceed as follows:
Note
Approx. 4 hours before defrosting
the appliance, switch on super freezing
so that the food drops to a very low
temperature and can therefore be stored
at room temperature for a longer period.
1. Remove the frozen food and place
temporarily in a cool location.
2. Switch the appliance off.
3. Pull out the mains plug or remove
the fuse.
4. To accelerate the defrosting process,
place a pan of hot water on a trivet
in the freezer compartment. Fig. ,
5. Wipe up condensation with a cloth
or sponge.
6. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
7. Switch the appliance on again.
8. Put the frozen food back in the freezer
compartment.
