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.
