Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost evaporates by itself.
The water drainage hole must be cleaned regularly (see the section "Cleaning and Care").
Correct storage
For physical reasons, there are differ­ent temperature regions in the fridge. The coldest region is on the lowest storage shelf. Warmer regions are the top storage shelf, the veg­etable drawer and the storage com­partments on the door. The arrangement example shows at which places in the refrigerator suit­able temperatures for various types of foods exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging: – Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids; – Special plastic covers with elastic; – aluminium foil.

Technical terminology
Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refriger­ant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a con­denser and pipe work.
Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in electric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the con­denser.
Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant com­pressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
