6. CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Before maintenance, disconnect
the mains plug from the mains
socket.
6.1 Cleaning
• Clean the appliance and the accesso-
ries regularly.
• Clean all the parts of the appliance
and all the accessories only with warm
water and neutral detergent. Make
sure that the appliance and the acces-
sories are fully dry.
• Clean the gasket of the door regularly.
To replace a damaged gasket, contact
the Service.
• Clean the grill of the condenser and
the compressor, that are behind the
appliance, with a brush. This helps to
decreases the energy consumption
and keeps the appliance in good con-
ditions.
• Be careful not to pull, move or
to cause damage to the pipes
or the cables.
• Be careful not to cause dam-
age to the cooling unit.
• Do not clean the appliance
with abrasive products, abra-
sive cleaning pads, solvents,
detergents with perfume or
wax polish.
After maintenance, connect the mains
plug to the mains socket.
6.2 Automatic defrosting of the fridge
The removal of frost occurs automatically
when the motor compressor stops dur-
ing operation.
The water drains out through the drain
hole and collects in the water container
where it evaporates.
The water container is behind the appli-
ance, above the motor compressor.
The drain hole is in the fridge on the rear
part.
To prevent water to collect in other parts
of the fridge, make sure that the drain
hole is always clean. Use the cleaning
tool that is in the drain hole.
6.3 Defrosting of the freezer
There can be frost on the freezer
shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the lay-
er of frost has a thickness of 3 or
5 mm.
CAUTION!
Do not use sharp metal tools to
remove the frost.
Do not use mechanical devices
to defrost the freezer.
