Defrosting

Freezer compartment

D e f r o s t i n g
As the frozen food may not start
thawing, the freezer compartment does
not defrost automatically. A layer of
hoarfrost in the freezer compartment
impairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Remove the layer of frost regularly!
■
Caution!
Avoid any damage to the pipes of the
refrigeration circuit.
If refrigerant escapes, it may injure your
eyes or ignite.
Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice
■
with a knife or pointed object.
