Defrosting
The refrigerator compartment
defrosts automatically. The water
that forms on the rear wall
drains into a reservoir at the
back of the appliance and
evaporates automatically
through the compressor heat.
Ensure the defrost water can flow freely through
the drain hole in the rear wall
(Figure 8).
Cleaning - Figure 9
• To prevent possible injury due to an
electrical shock, be sure to disconnect
the power cord or turn OFF the circuit
breaker before replacing the interior
light bulb(s) or cleaning the appliance.
• To avoid injury or damage, DO NOT
use steam cleaning equipment to
clean the appliance.
Clean the appliance by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent.
DO NOT use abrasive or scouring sponges. DO
NOT use concentrated cleaning agents. NEVER
use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.
Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning
with a good quality stainless steel cleaner or polish
monthly. High quality stainless steel cleaners and
conditioners are commercially available.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS or
ABRASIVE PADS. DO NOT use cleaners that are
not for use on stainless steel, such as glass, tile
or counter cleaners. These types of cleaners
can damage the surface permanently.
Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas and
moisture may have some discoloration. This
discoloration is normal. If your unit is used in this
environment, clean and polish your stainless steel
more often.
! WARNING
If the surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with a non-abrasive cloth and protect it.
Always clean and polish in the direction of the grain
and finish.
• The racks, shelves and other components
should be cleaned by hand as they are not
dishwasher-safe.
- Always remove the top door rack (butter and
cheese compartment) together with the flap*.
Then press one of the side walls carefully to
the outside to release the flap pin. The flap
can then be lifted out. Make sure not to
damage any bushings*.
- The shelves and door racks can be
dismantled for cleaning. Remove the trims
and sides from the glass shelves.
- Remove the protective film from the
decorative trims.
• To clean the vegetable, salad and fruit drawers,
pull the drawers right out, grip at back and lift
out. To re-insert: place the drawers on the
extended rails - the rails must align with the front
of the drawer - and slide in.
• Ensure no cleaning water penetrates into the
electrical components or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
Figure 9
• Remove dust from the refrigerator unit and heat
exchanger and the metal grid at the back of the
appliance. This should be done at least once a
year.
• DO NOT damage or remove the model plate on
the inside of the appliance. It is very important
for servicing your appliance.
