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.

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, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty.

• Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in 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 freezer.

• Close the door.

• Plug in the appliance once again.

• Switch the appliance on.
