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 freezer compartment

Defrost the freezer 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 freezer 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.
