6 Maintenance
6.1 Defrosting
6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The
water evaporates. Drops of water on the rear wall are function-
ally conditioned and perfectly normal.
u
Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost
water to drain (see 6.2) .
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.
WARNING
Danger of injury and damage
u
Do not use any mechanical aids or other means not recom-
mended by the manufacturer in order to accelerate the
defrosting process.

Do not use electrical heating or steam cleaning equipment,
open flames or defrosting sprays to defrost.
