Never clean the product’s casing or plastic parts using solvents
or strong, abrasive detergents (e.g. washing powders or creams)!
Use mild liquid detergents and soft cloths only. Do not use spong-
es.
• Defrosting the fridge
1. Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It is
removed automatically. During the defrosting, the condensate,
which contains contaminants may clog the opening in the
through. Should it occur, carefully unclog the opening with the
cleaning plug (fig. 13).
2. The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the
frost settles on the rear wall), and defrosts (water flows down
the rear wall) .
3. Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning by
removing the plug from the mains socket or switching off the
fuse. Prevent water from penetrating the control panel or the
light.
4. Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause the forma-
tion of an explosive mixture, or contain solvents which may
damage the plastic components of the appliance and even be
harmful to health.
5. Make sure the water used for cleaning does not flow into the
evaporation container through the discharge opening.
6. The whole appliance, except for the door gasket must be
cleaned with a mild cleaning detergent. The door gasket should
be cleaned with water and wiped dry.
7. Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers, door shelves,
glass shelves, etc.).
• Defrosting the freezer
1. It is recommended to combine defrosting the appliance with
washing it.
2. Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing areas impairs
the appliance’s freezing capacity and increases the energy con-
sumption.
3. Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a year. In case of
a higher ice build-up, defrosting must be carried out more
frequently. Il est conseillé de dégivrer le compartiment congéla-
teur en même temps que le nettoyage de l’appareil.
