Defrosting the refrigerator

I
NOTE
In high ambient temperatures, the refrigerator may operate
continuously, which can lead to excessive formation of frost on
the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Humidity can cause frost to form in the interior of the refrigerator or on the
vaporiser.
A slight layer of frost or water droplets could form in the interior of the
refrigerator if it has been cooling for longer periods. This is normal because
the moisture in the air condenses to water when the temperature in the refrig-
erator drops. The refrigerator is not defective.
The condensate flows out through a water drain duct into a water container
at the back of the unit at top of the compressor, where it evaporates.
It is recommended to defrost the refrigerator every three weeks.
Proceed as follows:
➤ Disconnect the refrigerator from the AC mains.
➤ Remove the drawers (see chapter "Removing the drawers" on page 19).
➤ Leave the door open.
➤ After defrosting wiped out the cabinet interior with a clean, damp cloth.
➤ Assemble the drawers.

If you do not intend to use the refrigerator for a long time, proceed as follows:
➤ Disconnect the plug.
➤ Clean the refrigerator (see chapter "Cleaning and maintenance" on
