12.3 Defrosting
Automatic defrosting in the refrigerating compartment
The temperature regulator controls an automatic defrosting system. During the
defrosting phase, the temperature can rise to +8°C. The temperature in the complete
refrigeration circuit is then +5°C.
Set the temperature so that the appliance does not constantly cool down – without a
defrost phase. The temperature in the refrigerator drops (to below 0°C) and drinks and
fresh food freeze. The icing of the rear wall causes the energy consumption to rise very
sharply and the appliance efficiency drops.
➢ If the condensation does not run properly through the drain line into the
drip tray, check whether the drain line is clogged (see chapter
"Troubleshooting").
➢ There must be no water on the floor or in contact with electrical
components.
12.4 Replacing the lamps
The appliance is equipped with a lamp.
Proceed as follows to replace the lamp:
1. Unscrew the screw (depending on model).
2. Press on the lamp cover and lift remove the lamp cover
to the rear.
3. Replace defective lamp.
4. Insert the lamp cover.
5. Screw in the screw.
6. Connect the appliance to the mains power supply and switch it on.
12.5 Decommissioning the appliance
To switch off the appliance, remove the mains plug and switch off or unscrew the fuse.
✓ Remove the food.
