l Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause
the formation of an explosive mixture, or contain
solvents which may damage the plastic com-
ponents of the appliance and even be harmful
to health.
l Make sure the water used for cleaning does not
flow into the evaporation container through the
discharge opening.
l The whole appliance, except for the door gasket
must be cleaned with a mild cleaning detergent.
The door gasket should be cleaned with water
and wiped dry.
l Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers,
door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).
Automatic fridge defrosting
The fridge chamber has been equipped with the
automatic defrosting function. However, frost may
settle on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. This
happens usually, when large quantities of fresh
food products are stored in the fridge.
Automatic fridge defrosting
The freezer chamber has been equipped with
the automatic defrosting function (no-frost). The
food is frozen in the cooled circulation air, and the
moisture from the freezer chamber is discharged
outside. As a result, no ice and frost is produced
in the freezer and the products do not freeze on
each other.
Defrosting the fridge
Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It
is removed automatically. During the defrosting, the
condensate, which contains contaminants may clog the
opening in the through. Should it occur, carefully unclog
the opening with the cleaning plug (fig. 10).
l The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates
(then the frost settles on the rear wall), and de-
frosts (water flows down the rear wall)
DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains before cleaning by removing the
plug from the mains socket or switching
off the fuse. Prevent water from penetra-
ting the control panel or the light.

Washing the fridge and freezer chambers
manually
It is recommended to wash the fridge and freezer
chambers at least once a year. This prevents the
formation of bacteria and foul odours. Switch the
appliance, using button (1), remove the food from
the chambers and wash them using water with a
mild detergent. Then, wipe the chambers dry with
a cloth.
