7.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator

automatic. The water that forms flows into
a recipient on the compressor and
evaporates. The recipient cannot be
removed.
7.4 Defrosting the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it.
A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their
safe storage life.
Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing
process other than those
recommended by the
manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Pull out the plug from the wall socket
or switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place
CAUTION!
Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Open the door.
In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in
the freezer compartment. In addition,
remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to
obtain the maximum coldness and run
the appliance for two or three hours
using this setting.

aroma for all foodstuffs without risk of
odor cross contamination.
During the operation, always
keep the air ventilation flap

is in a plastic bag to preserve
performance. Place the filter
in the slot before activating
the appliance.

filter.
The air filter is placed behind the flap
