cleaning & maintenance

Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off by removing the plug from the socket.
The cooler section of the refrigerator defrosts automatically. Defrost the appliance when the layer of ice in the freezer
section has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Use this opportunity to clean the appliance.
When there is white frost on the rear wall of the cooler section, it will defrost automatically. The defrost water runs
downwards and is discharged via the defrost water drain. The opening of the defrost water drain can become clogged. Clean
the opening by means of the skewer.
DEFROSTING AND CLEANING THE REFRIGERATOR
• Switch off the thermostat
[0]
and remove the plug from the socket.
• Open the door and remove the products. Store the products on a cool location, packed in newspapers and blankets.
• Leave the door open, this will accelerate the defrosting process.
• Place a receptacle under the freezer section and wait for the ice to defrost. You can also place a dish with hot water (not
boiling) in the freezer section.
Remove loose ice using a plastic scraper.
Warning
Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a
heater or something similar. This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
• Clean the interior of the appliance. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or
soda in order to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe
everything dry.
• Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The shelves and drawers can be removed from the appliance easily and
washed by hand. These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Clean the outside of the appliance and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
• Switch on the appliance in accordance with the user instruction.
INSTRUCTIONS
• A large amount of ice on the freezer surfaces disrupts the operation of the appliance and increases the energy
consumption.
• Defrost the appliance at least once or twice per year. When too much ice is formed, you must defrost the appliance more
often.
• Place the frozen products in a large tray, wrapped in newspapers and a blanket and store them on a cool location.
• Defrosting the refrigerator should be done as quickly as possible. Storing the products at room temperature for a time
period that is too long reduces their shelf life.
