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, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. � Remove the food from the freezer, 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 freezer. � Close the door. � Plug in the appliance once again. � Switch the appliance on.
