HOW TO DEFROST THE REFRIGERATOR
Defrost the appliance when the ice on the walls
reaches a thickness of about 3 mm.
Ensure the water collection tray is empty and
properly positioned below the low temperature
compartment.
Semi-automatic defrost (Fig. 1)
•
Press the button (A) in the middle of the
thermostat knob and close the door. Once all
the ice has melted, the button will return to its
original position and the refrigerator will
automatically start functioning again.
Manual defrost (Fig. 2)
For appliances without defrost button:
•
Turn the thermostat knob to the defrost position.
•
After defrosting, turn the knob back to its
original position.
It is not necessary to empty the rest of the
refrigerator.
Do not use sharp objects or metal
instruments to remove ice.
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,
unplug the appliance from the mains or
disconnect the electrical power supply.
•
Clean the interior periodically with a sponge
soaked in warm water and/or neutral
detergent. Do not use abrasive substances.
•
Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.
•
Clean the inside of the low temperature
compartment when defrosting.
•
Clean the outside with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive products, scourers,
stain-removers (e.g. acetone,
trichloroethylene) or vinegar.
•
Periodically clean air vents and the
condenser at the rear of the appliance with a
vacuum cleaner or a brush.
