l The appliance operates in cycles: it refri-
gerates (then the frost settles on the rear
wall), and defrosts (water ows down the
rear wall).
Disconnect the appliance from
the mains before cleaning by re-
moving the plug from the mains
socket or switching off the fuse.
Prevent water from penetrating the
control panel or the light.
l Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may
cause the formation of explosive mixture,
or contain slovents which may damage the
plastic components of the appliance and
even be harmful to health.
l Make sure the water used for cleaning
does not ow into the evaporation container
through the discharge opening.
l The whole appliance, except for the door
gasket must be cleaned with a mild cleaning
detergent. The door gasket should be cle-
aned with water and wiped dry.
l Wash all the accessories (vegetable conta-
iners, door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).
DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting the fridge
Frost settles on
the rear wall of
the fridge cham-
ber. It is removed
automatically.
During the de-
frosting, the con-
densate, which
contains con-
taminants may
clog the opening
in the through.
Should it occur,
carefully unclog
the opening with the cleaning plug (g. 5).

Defrosting the freezer
l It is recommended to combine defrosting
the appliance with washing it.
l Excessive accumulation of ice on the freez-
ing areas impairs the appliance’s freezing
capacity and increases the energy con-
sumption.
l Defrost the appliance at least once or twice
a year.
l If there is food in the freezer, set the knob
to the max. position about 4 hours before
the planned defrosting. This will ensure the
possibility of storing the food at the ambi-
ent temperature for a longer time.
l After taking the food out of the freezer, put
it in a container, wrap it with several layers
of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool
place.
l The defrosting operation should last as
short as possible. Long storage of food
at the ambient temperature shortens their
shelf life.
