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.
