HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, always
unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the 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.
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 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.
