MONTHS FOOD 17 HOW TO DEFROST THE APPLIANCE Before defrosting, unplug the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical power supply. Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly. Defrosting the compartment Defrost the compartment once or twice a year or when the ice formation is excessive. The amount and speed at which the ice forms depends on ambient conditions and the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated at the top of the compartment and does not affect the efficiency of the appliance. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. · To switch off the freezer compartment, press button C. · Remove the food from the freezer compartment and group together in a cool place or in a cool bag. [. . . ] The refrigerator can operate at ambient temperatures between +10° C and +32° C. Optimal performance is obtained at temperatures between +16° C and +32° C. Note: The ambient air temperature, the frequency of door opening and the position of the appliance can affect the internal temperatures of the refrigerator. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat. [. . . ]
