Defrosting and cleaning
Automatic defrosting
The refrigerator features automatic
defrosting. In some periods, however,
frost may form on the rear wall of the
refrigerator. This normally happens
when many fresh items of food are
stored in the refrigerator or in summer
when the refrigerator is filled with
beverages to be cooled. In situations
such as these the compressor must
run for long periods of time. As
automatic defrosting takes place while
the compressor is at a standstill, the
refrigerator may not defrost completely
before the compressor restarts. In
these instances, manual defrosting is
required.

Any loose frost on the evaporator can
be removed using a plastic or wooden
scraper. Never use a knife or a sharp
object as these can damage the
evaporator.
Warning
It is dangerous to use electrical
apparatus, knives or sharp objects to
speed up the defrosting process.
