process by placing a pan of hot water
in the freezer compartment.

heat insulating base!

or naked flames to defrost the freezer
compartment, e.g. heaters, steam
cleaners, candles, kerosene lamps, etc.
Caution when using defrosting sprays:
S Defrosting sprays may form explosive
gases.

or propellants which attack plastic.

hazard.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Refrigeratorcompartment
defrosts fully automatically
While the refrigerating unit is running,
beads of condensation or hoarfrost
form at the back of the refrigerator
compartment. This is quite normal.
It is not necessary to wipe off the
condensation or frost. The rear panel
defrosts automatically. The condensation
runs into the condensation channel
Fig. 3 and is conveyed to the refrigerating
unit where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensation channel
and drain hole Fig. 3 clean so that the
condensation can drain.
