ons. The back panel in the refriger-
ator compartment defrosts automatic-
ally.
Condensation runs through the con-
densation channel into the drainage
hole to the evaporation pan and does
not have to be wiped away.
To ensure that the condensation can
drain and odours do not form, ob-
serve the following information:
Cleaning the condensation channel
and drainage hole → Page 20.
12.2 Defrosting in the freezer
compartment
The freezer compartment does not
defrost automatically. A layer of hoar-
frost in the freezer compartment im-
pairs refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption.
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
Regularly defrost the freezer com-
partment.
Switch on the Super function ap-
1.
prox. four hours before defrosting.

This means that the food reaches
very low temperatures and it can

perature.
