manual abstract
Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year or when the formation of ice on the racks is excessive. It is perfectly normal for ice to form on the racks. The amount and speed at which the ice forms depends on room air temperature and humidity and the frequency with which the door is opened. Ice formation is concentrated on the racks at the top of the freezer compartment. If possible, defrost the freezer compartment when it 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 freezer door open so that the ice can thaw. • Pull out the defrost water drain and place a tray below it. • Clean the interior of the freezer compartment with a sponge and warm water and/or neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive products. • Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly. • Fit the drain back into place. • Put the food back into the freezer compartment. • Close the compartment door. • Plug in the appliance / reconnect the electricity supply. • Switch the appliance on. HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT The refrigerator compartment must be cleaned periodically. 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 routed to a drain outlet and into a container on the compressor from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance. This precaution ensures that defrost water is removed correctly from the interior of the refrigerator compartment. Before cleaning the refrigerator compartment, unplug the appliance from the mains. • Use a sponge with warm water and/or neutral detergent. • Rinse the interior and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products CARE AND MAINTENANCE Prolonged disuse 1. Empty the refrigerator and freezer compartments. 2. Unplug the appliance from the mains. 3. Defrost and clean the interior of both compartments. 4. Leave the doors open to prevent the formation of mould, odours and oxidation. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1.
