Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance
above the compressor, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and
vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided
which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do
NOT use abrasive products.

An accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.

You MUST ensure that the appliance is switched
OFF. 

Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance,
with a brush or vacuum cleaner, see figure.
