The appliance needs no special defrosting 
procedure, because ice deposited at the inner back 
wall is defrosted automatically. Ice deposited on the 
inner back wall during the compressor operation is 
defrosted when the compressor stops operating, 
and condensed water drops are drained through 
the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan 
situated above the compressor where it evaporates. 
In case of excessive ice deposits at the inner 
rear wall of the refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the 
appliance off by pressing the ON/OFF button and 
defrost it manually.

•

 Clean the freezer when the frost layer in the 

freezer reaches thickness of around 3-5 mm.

•

 24 hours prior defrosting fresh food activate 

intensive freezing knob (see section Control of 
particular models - Intensive freezing), to quickly 
freeze freshly inserted food. After that empty the 
freezer and take care that the packages remain 
frozen.

•

 Switch the appliance off by turning the 

temperature selector (A) to the mark  .

•

 To drain defrost water pull the funnel shaped 

groove at the bottom of the appliance out, and 
place a convenient vessel underneath to collect 
the defrost water.

•

 Never use powered appliances to defrost the 

freezer (hair dryer, etc.).

•

 Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may 

cause damage to the plastic parts and may be 
hazardous to health.

•

 Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry 

(see chapter Cleaning).

•

 Before reloading food into the freezer switch the 

appliance on.

•

 Defrosting of NO FROST freezer is automatic. 

Periodic appearance of frost layer eventually 
disappears automatically.
