HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE
REFRIGERATOR
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug
the appliance from the mains or disconnect the electrical
power supply.
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.
Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool
supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is
removed correctly.
Defrosting the low temperature compartment
Defrost the low temperature compartment once or twice
a year or when the ice formation is excessive.It is perfectly
normal for ice to form. The amount of ice which forms and
the rate at which it accumulates will depends on room
temperature and humidity, and on the frequency with
which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated
at the top of the compartment and does not affect the
efficiency of the appliance.
If possible, carry out defrosting when the compartment is
nearly empty.
• Remove the food from the low temperature compartment,
wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in
a portable cooler.
• Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.
• Clean the interior with a sponge soaked in warm water and/
or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.
• Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
• Put the food back into the compartment.
• Close the door.
• Plug in the appliance once again.
• Switch the appliance on.
