•For a more thorough cleaning of the freezer compartment the glass shelves can be removed by slightly lifting the front above the stop and pulling outwards.

•If the compartment is not used for prolonged periods, it is advisable to leave the freezer door open to prevent the formation of mould, odours and oxidation.

Cleaning the refrigerator compartment Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.

Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress. The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.

Clean the defrost water drain hole regularly using the tool supplied, in order to ensure the constant and correct flow of defrost water.
