The fridge

fridge has an automatic defrosting system. During defrosting the water drops drain off at the rear
side of the cooling chamber. The water running through a flume, is collected in a container underneath
the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make sure the water discharge opening does not get clogged.
Clean it carefully with a pipe cleaner or knitting needle. A light formation of ice on the rear side during
operation is normal.
To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost the freezer

regularly. To start the defrosting
process turn the temperature control to the 0-position and disconnect the plug or turn off the fuse.
Remove the food items and keep covered at a cool location. When the ice has melted, wipe the con-
densate away and dry the appliance interior. You may then restart the appliance by connecting the
plug and turning the temperature control.
