HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE
FREEZER
HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year,
or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of
about 3 mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is
nearly empty.
1. Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in newspaper
and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains power
supply.
3. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.
4. Remove the defrost water from the compartment
bottom.
5. Clean the interior with a sponge dampened in lukewarm
water and neutral detergent.
Do not use abrasive products.
6. Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
Note: Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments
to scrape off ice; do not heat the freezer compartment
artificially.
Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator
compartment.
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is
completely automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost
cycle is in progress.
The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet
and into a container from which it evaporates.
Before carrying out any cleaning operations, disconnect the
appliance from the power supply.
