Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice depositing on the inner back wall
is defrosted automatically.
Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during
the compressor operation; later on, when the
compressor is not operating ice is defrosting
and water drops collect and drain through the
outlet in the inner back wall into the 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 can damage the surface.
Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
x
Clean the
exterior

detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft
cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent
(for example glass cleaners). You may also
use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic
alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially
aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless
steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the
cleaning of plastic and coated parts.

receptacle
above the refrigerator
compressor (do not remove the receptacle).
After cleaning, connect the appliance to
