Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time. The presence of water
drops on the back wall at the inside of the refrigerator indicates that the appliance is busy
defrosting automatically. The defrost water runs through the drainage spout to a receptacle
where it evaporates.
Ensure that the drain outlet is clean. You can clean a clogged drain with a satay stick, for
example.
Cleaning the appliance
Switch off the appliance and and disconnect it from the mains before you start cleaning
it.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface.
• Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a
neutral cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with
a soft cloth. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them
thoroughly.
• Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to the lowest
temperature setting. After 24 hours, set the thermostat to the normal position.
• Clean the outside using a soft cloth.
• Regularly clean the air vents and the condenser at the rear of the appliance with a vacuum
cleaner or a brush.
When you are not going to use the appliance for a longer period then switch it off and
disconnect it from the mains. Empty, defrost and clean the appliance, and leave the door
ajar.
