the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigerating
performance. The sound of the refrigeration unit may be tempo-
rarily louder as a result.
In addition, frozen food already in storage is given a "cold re-
serve". The food stays frozen longer as a result when you defrost
the appliance.*
The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food you can freeze
within 24 hours is indicated on the type plate under "freezing ca-
pacity ... kg/24h". This amount varies according to the model and
climate rating.

6 Maintenance
6.1 Manual defrosting*
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The
defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the compres-
sor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal.
u
Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow
away. (see section on cleaning)
A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment
after a long period of operation.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened
often 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.
CAUTION
Risk of injury and damage as a result of hot steam!
u
Do not use electric heaters or steam cleaners, naked flames
or defrosting sprays for defrosting.
u
