There can be frost on the freezer

of frost has a thickness of 3 or 5
mm.
CAUTION!
Do not use sharp metal tools to
remove the frost.
Do not use mechanical devices to
defrost the freezer.

The removal of frost occurs automatically
when the motor compressor stops during

The water drains out through the drain
hole and collects in the water container
where it evaporates.
The water container is behind the appli-
ance, above the motor compressor.

of the fridge, make sure that the drain
hole is always clean. Use the cleaning tool
that is in the drain hole.
