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. If this is the case,
turn the temperature control (fig. 1 9, page 3) down to a lower
level ("1" or "2").
Humidity can cause frost to form in the interior of the refrigerator or on the
vaporiser. This reduces the cooling capacity. The refrigerator compartment
is defrosted automatically while the compressor is not running.
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
refrigerator drops. The refrigerator is not defective.
The condensate drains away through a trough into a special container at the
back of the unit via the compressor, where it evaporates.
➤ Wipe the insides of the refrigerator with a dry cloth as required.
If the layer of frost is thicker than 3mm, you should defrost the freezer
compartment.
