Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special contain-
er at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the de-
frost water drain hole in the middle of the
refrigerator compartment channel to pre-
vent the water overflowing and dripping on-
to the food inside. Use the special cleaner
provided, which you will find already inser-
ted into the drain hole.
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all
accessories
4.
leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
