MAINTENANCE
Defrosting the appliance
Automatic defrost of the refrigeration compartment
The refrigeration compartment defrosts automatically from time to time.
Defrosting of the NoFrost freezer
The NoFrost freezer defrosts automatically. Any frost deposits will then disappear.
Any ice or frost deposits that nevertheless form in the freezer compartment can be caused by
unusual use of the appliance (opening the door too often and too long or poorly sealing door,
etc.). The freezer will then need to be defrosted manually.
Switch off the appliance in the event of extreme ice formation. Remove the food in the
freezer and protect it so that it cannot partially or completely thaw. Clean and dry the
interior of the freezer. Switch on the appliance and adjust the temperature to the required
setting before you put the food back into the freezer.
Cleaning the appliance
Switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains before you start cleaning it.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, as they can damage the surface.
The day before you clean, set the thermostat dial to the lowest temperature setting to
freeze the foods completely.
• Before cleaning, frozen foods should be wrapped in several layers of paper and kept in a
cool place. The inevitable rise in temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use
these foods within a relatively short period of time.
• Regularly clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water. If so required, add a
neutral cleaning agent or special refrigerator cleaner to the water. Clean all surfaces with
a soft cloth. Wipe the cleaned parts with a cloth with clean water and then dry them
thoroughly.
• Do not put parts of the appliance in a dishwasher: this could damage them.
• Dry the inside of the unit, plug on the mains, and set the thermostat knob to the lowest
temperature setting. After 24 hours, set the thermostat to the normal position.
• Clean the outside using a soft cloth.
• Regularly clean the air vents and the condenser at the rear of the appliance with a vacuum
cleaner or a brush.
