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.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compart-

stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-

hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-

overflowing and dripping onto the food in-
side. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into
the drain hole.

ing, set the Temperature regulator
toward higher settings, in order to
build up sufficient chill reserve for
the interruption in operation.
