Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically
eliminated from the
evaporator of the re-
frigerator compart-
ment every time the
motor compressor
stops, during normal
use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out
through a trough into
a special container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where it
evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the de-
frost water drain hole (F) situated under the
salad drawers to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided (P), which
you will find already inserted into the drain
hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always
form on the freezer shelves and
around the top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the
frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5
mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-
eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place.

mechanical device or any artificial means to

during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
