Instruction for Use

Before defrosting the appliance, unplug it or

switch off the power at the mains.

Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is

completely automatic. Droplets of water on

the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment

indicate that the periodic automatic defrost

cycle is in progress. The defrost water is

automatically routed to a drain outlet and

into a container from which it evaporates.

Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using

the tool supplied with the appliance in order to

ensure defrost water is removed correctly. (Fig. 1)

Defrosting the compartment

(if present)

Defrost the compartment once or twice a

year or when ice formation is excessive.

It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The amount

of ice which forms and the rate at which it

accumulates will vary depending on

ambient conditions and the frequency with which

the freezer door is opened. Ice formation is

concentrated at the top of the compartment and

does not affect the efficiency of the appliance.

If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly

empty.

• Remove the food from the freezer compartment

and group together in a cool place or in a cool

bag.

• Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt.

• Clean the interior of the freezer with a sponge

and warm water and/or neutral detergent. Do

not use abrasive substances.

• Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly.

• Put the food back into the freezer.

• Close the door.

Plug the appliance back in and switch on, following

the instructions in chapter “How to operate the

refrigerator compartment”. The settings and

selections made prior to switching off will be

restored.
