5  Cleaning and Maintenance

5.1  Defrosting

Occasional presence of frost 

inside the freezer compartment 

is normal.

Do not use electrical applian-

ces (e.g. hair dryers) or sprays 

for defrosting, the plastic parts 

could be damaged.

Defrosting the refrigerator/freezer 

compartments

The refrigerator/freezer compartment 

does not require defrosting, as any 

ice which forms on the refrigeration 

plate will melt when the compressor is 

switched off. The defrosting process is 

automatic.

Defrost water is channelled directly into 

the vaporisation container on the back 

of the appliance, which lets it evapora-

te by means of the heat generated by 

the compressor.
