Cleaning and maintenance
22
• After washing the components, dry them
thoroughly.
To improve energy savings and efficiency of
the appliance, periodically clean the
condenser, located in the rear area, using a
broom, a vacuum cleaner or a cloth.
Interior lighting
Interior lighting, if damaged, must be
repaired by Technical Service only.
4.3 Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The freezer compartment has automatic
defrosting.
During normal compressor operation frost
forms on the rear wall of the appliance, and
melts when it is not working.
While the compressor is not working, the
accumulated frost melts and the water runs
off into the opening for this purpose at the
bottom of the cell.
It is then channelled into the tray under the
compressor, from which it evaporates.
CAUTION
• Do not use electrical appliances (e.g.
hair dryers) or sprays for defrosting, the
plastic parts could be damaged.
NOTE:
Occasional presence of frost
inside the freezer compartment is
normal.
WARNING
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from
the mains before cleaning or
maintenance.
• Do not pull the cable to remove the
plug.
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
