Clean the inside with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and
the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush or a vacuum
cleaner. This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment of this
model, on the other hand, is a "no
frost" type. This means that there is no
buildup of frost when it is in operation,
neither on the internal walls nor on the
foods.
The absence of frost is due to the
continuous circulation of cold air inside
the compartment, driven by an
automatically controlled fan.
