o
Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
o
Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
o
After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it
thoroughly.
o
When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to your mains supply.
The defrost drain hole
o
Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The defrost water is
collected by the evaporating tray and evaporates automatically.
o
The drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the drain hole cleaner. This will prevent water from
collecting in the bottom of the refrigerator, instead of flowing down the defrost drainage channel and drain
hole.
o
IMPORTANT: Please note that the drain hole cleaner should not be left in position permanently. Otherwise
this may prevent the defrost water from entering the drain hole.
o
You can also pour a small amount of water down the drain hole to clean the defrost drainage channel.
o
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 deflect water into the base of your refrigerator.
o
Use a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water to clean the evaporating tray.
o
IMPORTANT: It is normal to get some ice droplets forming on the back wall of the appliance. The formation
of ice droplets does not indicate an appliance fault.
o
If you are getting a lot of ice on the back wall of the appliance, then check that the thermostat is set
appropriately and that the fast freeze function has not been switched on.
Defrosting the
freezer section
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can use a plastic scraper
to keep down the amount of frost that builds.
IMPORTANT: The freezer compartment should be defrosted when the thickness of the ice layer is 3 – 5 mm thick.
The number of times that you need to defrost it, will depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much food you
freeze and store in the compartment.
