Refrigerator compartment
defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of condensation or hoarfrost
formĂat the back of the refrigerator
compartment. This is quite normal.
ItĂisĂnot necessary to wipe off the
condensation or frost. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the condensation channel
Fig. 3 and is conveyed to the refrigerating
unit where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel
and drain hole Fig. 3 clean so that the
condensation can drain.
Cleaning the appliance
1. Attention: Pull out the mains plug
or switch off the fuse!
2. Wipe the door seal with clear water only
and then wipe dry thoroughly.
3. Clean the appliance with lukewarm
water and a little washingĆup liquid.
Water must not get into the control
panel.
4. After cleaning: reconnect and switch
on the appliance.
Do not use abrasive or acidic cleaning
agents and solvents.
Regularly clean the condensation channel
and drainage hole, Fig. 3, so that the
condensation can flow out. Clean the
condensation channel with cotton buds,
etc.
Water used for cleaning must not
run through the drainage hole into the
evaporation pan.
