The parts may become deformed! Proceed as follows: 1. Before cleaning: Switch the appliance off. 2. Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse. 3. Take out the frozen food and store in a cool location. Proceed as follows: 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. 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. Note Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out. 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. г= Caution Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically Defrosting the freezer compartment Defrosting en 16
