HOW TO DEFROST THE APPLIANCE

Before defrosting, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply. Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.

Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly.

Diagram showing a device inside an open refrigerator with a magnified inset view of the front panel (no text or symbols present)

Defrosting the compartment

Defrost the compartment □ once or twice a year or when the ice formation is excessive.

It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The amount and speed at which the ice forms depends on ambient conditions and the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance.

If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty.

• To switch off the freezer compartment, set the thermostat to ●.
- Remove the food from the freezer compartment and group together in a cool place or in a cool bag.
- Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.
- Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
- Put the food back into the freezer.
- Close the door.

Plug in the appliance again and switch on following the instructions in chapter “How to operate the refrigerator compartment”: Adjustments and selections valid before switching off will automatically be restored.
