8 Care and maintenance
Keep the collection channel and the drain pipe clean so that the water can flow un-
impeded.
▸ Using up-and-down and round-and-round
movements, clean the defrost drainage
channel with the green detergent
provided.
If milk has been spilt accidentally and ended up in the defrost drainage channel:
►
Push some kitchen towel into the drainage hole and try to absorb as much li-
quid as possible.
►
If more than 1 dl has flowed into the defrost drainage channel and/or a strong
odour develops after a while: Contact Customer Services.
If any foreign objects get into the defrost drainage channel:
►
Carefully push a flexible, plastic object (such as a cable tie) into the drainage
hole and try as far as possible to remove them.
►
Do not use hard or sharp objects as these could damage the defrost drainage
channel and neighbouring components.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
A thick coat of ice will impair the transfer of cold to the frozen products. Defrost the
freezer compartment when ice builds up. Keep the frozen food as cold as possible and
wrapped, e.g. in newspaper, for insulation.
Do not use pointed objects to remove ice or food that has frozen on solid. Do not
use electrical heaters or naked flames for defrosting.
▸ Set the appliance to «off» using the button.
▸ Soak up the defrosted water with a sponge.
▸ After defrosting, clean the interior and dry thoroughly.
▸ Start the appliance again using the button.
