6.1 Defrosting
6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrosted water will evaporate. Water drops or a thin layer
of frost or ice can form on the back wall; this is a completely
normal part of the machine’s function.
u
Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the
defrost water to drain (see 6.2 Cleaning the appliance) .
6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment*
A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment
after the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of
time. This is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms
more quickly if the door is opened frequently or if the food is
warm when placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will
increase the appliance‘s energy consumption. You should
therefore defrost the appliance regularly.
