Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1.Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob on OFF
2.Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
Cleaning the appliance
•The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.
•The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.
•The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
•The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour- free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly.
•If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

frost cooling system” prevents the formation of frost and ice on the wal s.

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator defrosts automatically: defrost water is ducted out of the back of the appliance through a special outlet hole (see diagram) to an external container. Heat produced by the compressor causes the water to evaporate from the container.
It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. Do not use any tools that may damage the refrigerator.
