Warning!
Never use electrical appliances or
naked flames to defrost the freezer
compartment, e.g. heaters, steam
cleaners, candles, kerosene lamps, etc.
Caution when using defrosting sprays:
S Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases
S Defrosting sprays may contain solvents
or propellants which attack plastic
S Defrosting sprays may be a health
hazard
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
The refrigerator and
coldĆstorage compartment
defrost fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of water or hoarfrost form at the
back of the refrigerator compartment.
This is quite normal. It is not necessary
to scrape off the frost or wipe off the
beads of water. The rear panel defrosts
automatically. The condensation runs into
the evaporation area of the appliance via
the condensation channels.
Note
Keep the condensation channels and
drainage hole clean, Fig. q, so that the
condensation can run out.
