5.8 Defrosting

As time goes by, frost builds up on the fins

inside the refrigerator. A layer of frost thicker on

one side may occur and does not represent a

malfunction. When this layer of frost is about

3mm thick, the refrigerator should be defrosted.

 Switch off the refrigerator, as described in

Section 5.8 "Shutting off the refrigerator".

 Remove all food and the ice cube tray.

 Leave the refrigerator door open to allow air

to enter and to prevent formation of mildew.

 After defrosting (freezer compartment and

fins free of frost), wipe both cooling compart-

ments dry with a cloth.

Note: Water thawing in the main compartment of

the refrigerator runs into an appropriate contai-

ner at the back of the refrigerator. From there,

the water evaporates.

The layer of ice must never be removed for-

cibly, nor may defrosting be accelerated

using a heat source

 Do not keep carbonated drinks in the freezer.

 The freezer compartment is suitable for

making ice cubes and for short-term storage

of frozen food. It is not suitable as a means of

freezingfoods.

When ambient temperatures are lower than

+10°C and the refrigerator is exposed to

these temperatures for extended periods of

time, an even regulation of freezer tempera-

ture cannot be guaranteed for system-rela-

ted reasons. This can cause the temperature

in the freezer to rise and the stored goods to

defrost.

5.7.3 Storing food in the freezer compartment

Ice cubes are best frozen overnight. At night, the

refrigerator has less work to do and the unit has

more reserves.

5.7.4 Making ice cubes

1. Fill the ice cube tray

with drinking water.

2. Place the ice cube

tray in the freezer

compartment.
