CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of the
appliance are not suitable for washing in
a dishwasher.
7.2 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe
them clean to ensure they are clean and
free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special container
at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to prevent
the water overflowing and dripping onto the
food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided with the appliance.

7.4 Defrosting of the freezer
CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off
frost from the evaporator as you could
damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended
by the manufacturer.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting set a
lower temperature in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve in case of any
interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food and put it in a
cool place.
CAUTION!
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs during defrosting may shorten
their safe storage life.
Do not touch frozen goods with wet
hands. Hands can freeze to the
goods.
3. Leave the door open. Protect the floor
from the defrosting water e.g. with a cloth
or a flat vessel.
4. In order to speed up the defrosting
process, place a pot of warm water in the
freezer compartment. In addition, remove
pieces of ice that break away before
defrosting is complete.
5. When defrosting is complete, dry the
interior thoroughly.
6. Switch on the appliance and close the
door.
7. Set the temperature regulator to obtain
the maximum coldness and run the
appliance for at least 3 hours using this
setting.
