Defrosting
12.1 Defrosting in the refri-
gerator compartment
When the appliance is operating,
condensation droplets or frost form
on the rear panel of the refrigerator
compartment due to functional reas-
ons. The back panel in the refriger-
ator compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
Condensation runs through the con-
densation channel into the drainage
hole to the evaporation pan and does
not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:
Cleaning the condensation channel
and drainage hole →Page20.
12.2 Defrosting in the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically. A layer of hoar-
frost in the freezer compartment im-
pairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer com-
partment.
1. Switch on the Super function ap-
prox. fourhours before defrosting.

This means that the food reaches
very low temperatures and it can
be stored for longer at room tem-
perature.
2. Remove the frozen food and tem-
porarily place it in a cool location.
Wrap the frozen food with ice
packs, if available, in coverings or
newspaper.
3. Switch off the appliance.

4. Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Unplug the appliance from the
mains or switch off the circuit
breaker in the fuse box.

WARNING-Risk of burns!
Hot water, splashes of water and
steam can lead to burns.
▶ Always fill the pan for the defrost-
ing process with hot, but not boil-
ing, water.
To accelerate the defrosting pro-
cess, place a pan of hot, but not
boiling, water on a trivet in the
freezer compartment.
6. Wipe up the condensation water
with a soft cloth or sponge.
