Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance

Automatic defrosting
The refrigerator is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the
compressor causes it to evaporate. The
defrost water tray should be cleaned at
intervals.
Cleaning
Disconnect the power supply before
cleaning the inside of the cabinet.
The cabinet is best cleaned using warm
water (max. 60°C) with a little mild
detergent. Never use cleaning agents that
scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean
water and dry thoroughly. It is important
to prevent water from entering the control
panel.
The defrost water channel, in which
condensation from the evaporator runs,
is located on the rear wall of the cabinet
and must be kept clean. Add a few drops
of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost
water drain a couple of times a year,
and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner
or similar. Never use sharp or pointed
implements.
The sealing strip around the door must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
Dust collecting on the compressor and
in the compressor compartment is best
removed using a vacuum cleaner. It is
possible to clean beneath the appliance by
removing the kick plate.
Stainless steel or aluminium doors are best
cleaned using a care spray and soft cloth.
Various suitable products are available from
most household appliance distributors.
If the appliance is not to be used for any
length of time, switch it off, empty it, clean
the cabinet and fittings, and leave the door
slightly open to allow air circulation and
prevent smells.
