chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in
this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that
the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-
pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water
drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
It is important to periodi-
cally clean the defrost
water drain hole (F) situ-
ated under the salad
drawers to prevent the
water overflowing and
dripping onto the food in-
side. Use the special
cleaner provided (P),
which you will find al-
ready inserted into the
drain hole.
