AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE APPLIANCE
• There is no need to defrost the
cooler
, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted
automatically.
• Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor operation will defrost automatically (when
the compressor has cycled off). Defrost water will drain out passing through the drain outlet in the
inner back wall into a drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
• Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you may damage the surface.
• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
• Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and clean with water and liquid
detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in dishwashers.
• Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload it.
SWITCH OFF THE APPLIANCE WHEN NOT IN USE
• If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time. Disconnect the power supply, take
out the contents and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
