No manual defrosting required

The fridge compartment will defrost automatically. During defrost periods water droplets form on the interior back wall of your Larder Fridge and refreeze afterwards. Note : if your kitchen becomes exceptionally warm, your Larder Fridge may not defrost regularly.

WARNING: Ensure the defrost drain hole is kept clear and that stored food does not come into contact with the interior back wall of your Larder Fridge.

Cleaning

WARNING: Switch off electrical supply and pull out mains plug before cleaning.
