cleaners, or organic solvents such as benzene for cleaning. They could damage the surface
of the refrigerator and cause a fire.
Interior cleaning
- You must clean the interior of the refrigerator periodically.
- Clean the interior of the refrigerator with a weak solution of baking soda and then rinse it
with warm water using a wrung-out cloth or sponge. Dry it completely before replacing
the shelves and the drawers. Dry all the surfaces and the detachable parts thoroughly
before placing them back in place. Fig. 33
Defrost
Even if the refrigerator has an automatic defrost function, there could be a layer of frost in the
interior of the freezer compartment if the door has been frequently opened or if it remained
open for a long period of time. If the frost is too thick, follow these steps:
1. Remove the food and the drawers, unplug the refrigerator from the mains, and leave
the doors open. Ventilate the room well to speed up the defrosting process.
2. After it has been completely defrosted, clean the freezer compartment following the
process described.
Warning
Do not use sharp objects to remove frost. You should only plug and turn on the refrigerator
when the interior is completely dry.
Cleaning the door gasket
Try to keep the doors' gasket clean. Sticky food and drinks can cause the gaskets to stick to the
structure of the refrigerator and break when the door is opened. Wash the gasket with a soft
detergent and warm water. Rinse it and dry it thoroughly after cleaning it.
Warning
You must only turn the refrigerator on after the door gaskets are completely dry.
Substitution of the LED light
Warning:
The LED light can only be substituted by authorised personnel. If the LED light is damaged,
contact the official Customer Service of Cecotec for assistance.
To replace the LED light, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the refrigerator.
2. Remove the light cover by pressing it upwards and outwards.
3. Hold the LED light cover with a hand and pull with the other while you press the
connector.
4. Substitute the LED light and place it correctly in place.
