The frost will melt and run into the drip collector which should be located
underneath the frozen food storage compartment.
When defrosting is complete, remove the drip collector and turn the thermostat
dial to its normal setting.
Rinse out the ice tray, refill it with fresh water and place it on its shelf. Some
drips of water may come from the cooling fins during normal operation.

Defrosting of the frost built up on the evaporator should be started with pushing
in the push button in the middle of the thermostat knob. It should be pushed until
a clickingish heardt. (The button remains in the pushed-in-position). Defrosting
has started. The defrost water is automatically evaporated by the heat
generated by the appliance. After defrosting is completed, cooling will
automatically be started again. (Push button returns to the original position.)
Defrosting should be repeated at least once a week.
Defrost water
During the defrosting process the water runs through a hose into a container on
the back of the refrigerator where it evaporates. This container does not need to
be emptied.
Cleaning
Clean the inside of your refrigerator regularly to keep it fresh and gygienic.
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug. Clean the interior and fittings
carefully with a mild detergent in lukewarm water.
Never use acidic, abrasive or strongsmelling detergents or wax polishes as
these will damage the surfaces and leave an unpleasant smell.
The wooden housing should be dusted from time-to-time or wiped down with a
damp cloth. The door seal should onlz be cleaned with water and rubbed down
with talcum powder from time to time.
If possible, the unit should also be dusted occasionallz with a brush or, even
better, with a vacuum cleaner. Ensure that the plug is disconnected.
Longer periods of absence
If you wish to switch off the appliance for a longer period of time, pull out the
plug, defrost the refrigerator and clean it carefully. Leave the door open to
prevent unpleasant odours from forming.
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Before you call a service engineer, carry out the following simple tests.
Is there a power failure? Check the fuses.
Is the plug firmly connected to the socket and is the socket switched on? Check
the socket by plugging in another appliance, eg a table lamp.
