in a specific period.
Control
12
The ice cubes drop out of the IceMaker into the drawer. When a
certain filling level is reached, no more ice cubes are produced.
If large quantities of ice cubes are needed, the complete Ice-
Maker drawer can be exchanged for the adjacent drawer. When
the drawer is closed, the IceMaker automatically re-commences
production.
Once the IceMaker has been switched on for the first time, it may
take up to 24 hours until the first ice cubes are produced.
CAUTION

applies if the appliance is used for the first time and if it has
been out of use for a long time. This ensures that the water
line is thoroughly rinsed.
6 Maintenance
6.1 Defrosting with NoFrost*
The NoFrost system automatically defrosts the appliance.
Refrigerator compartment:
The defrost water evaporates due to the compressor heat. Drops
of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal.
u Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow
away. (see section on cleaning the appliance)
Freezer compartment:
The moisture condenses on the evaporator, is periodically de-
frosted and evaporates.
u The appliance does not have to be manually defrosted.
6.2 Manual defrosting*
The refrigerator compartment is defrosted automatically. The
defrost water evaporates as a result of the heat of the compres-
sor. Drops of water on the rear wall are perfectly normal.
u Regularly clean the drain opening to allow the water to flow
away. (see section on cleaning)
A layer of frost or ice can build up in the freezer compartment
after a long period of operation.
The layer of frost or ice builds up faster if the appliance is opened
often or if the food is warm when placed inside. However, a thick
layer of ice will increase the appliance‘s energy consumption.
You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.
u Switch on SuperFrost one day before defrosting.
w The frozen goods are provided with a "cold reserve".
u Switch off the appliance.
w The temperature display goes out.
w If the temperature display does not go out, the child lock func-
