• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not
clean them in a dishwasher.
• Do not sure abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
• After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have
cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
• When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then
reconnect the plug to your mains supply.
• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator section
during operation. The defrost water is collected by the
evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporating tray and defrost water drain hole should
be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug. This will
prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator,
instead of fl owing down the defrost drainage channel and drain
hole.
• You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain
hole to clean inside of it.
• You should be careful to make sure that food packages do not
touch the rear wall of the appliance, as this can interrupt the
automatic defrosting process and defl ect water into the base of
your refrigerator.
• If excessive ice deposits form on the back wall of the
refrigerator (larger than 3-5 mm), then you should switch off
the appliance using the thermostat dial. You should leave the
appliance off until the ice deposits have melted.
