Interior cleaning 

y

You should clean the appliance interior regularly. 

It will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. 

Wipe the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak 

solution of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse 

with warm water using a wrung-out sponge or 

cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the 

shelves and baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces 

and removable parts. 

y

Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a 

layer of frost may occur on the freezer 

compartment’s interior walls if the freezer door is 

opened frequently or kept open too long. If the 

frost is too thick, choose a time when the supply 

of food stocks are low and proceed as follows: 

1. Remove existing food and accessories baskets, 

unplug the appliance from the mains power and 

leave the doors open. Ventilate the room 

thoroughly to accelerate the thawing process. 

2. When defrosting is completed, clean your 

freezer as described above. 

I

f the appliance is does not automatically defrost, 

frost will occur in certain areas in the freezer 

compartment after a period of use. This frost can 

be scraped away by using a plastic scraper. 

NEVER use a metal or sharp instrument.   

y

However, complete defrosting will become 

necessary approximately four times per year, or if 

the frost layer exceeds 4mm (1/4”) affecting the 

system efficiency. Complete defrosting should be 

carried out if the frost cannot be scraped away, or 

if it begins to interfere with the food storage. 

Choose a time when the supply of food is low and 

proceed as follows: 

1 Remove existing food and accessories, unplug 

the appliance from the mains power and leave 

the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to 

accelerate the thawing process.   

2 Scrape away as much frost as possible using 

the plastic scraper (scraper not included). 

3 If necessary, place a cloth soaked with warm 

water on the frost layer’s surface to accelerate 

the thawing process. 

4 When defrosting is completed, clean your 

freezer as described - see interior cleaning. 

Caution!

 Don’t use sharp objects to remove frost 

from the freezer compartment. Only after the 

interior is completely dry should the appliance be 

switched back on and plugged back into the 

mains socket. 

Door seals cleaning 

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food 

and drinks can cause seals to stick to the cabinet 

and tear when you open the door. Wash seal with 

a mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry it 

thoroughly after cleaning. 

Caution! 

Only after the door seals are completely 

dry should the appliance be powered on.
