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.

Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft
cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent

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.
