Defrosting, cleaning and maintenance
Automatic defrosting
The refrigerator is defrosted automatically. Defrost water runs through a pipe and is collected in a tray above the compressor where the heat generated by the compressor causes it to evaporate. The defrost water tray should be cleaned at intervals.
Cleaning
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the inside of the cabinet.
The cabinet is best cleaned using warm water (max. 60°C) with a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is important to prevent water from entering the control panel.
The defrost water channel, in which condensation from the evaporator runs, is located on the rear wall of the cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost water drain a couple of times a year, and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or similar. Never use sharp or pointed implements.
The sealing strip around the door must be cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it continues to provide a tight seal.
Dust collecting on the compressor and in the compressor compartment is best removed using a vacuum cleaner. It is possible to clean beneath the appliance by removing the kick plate.
Stainless steel or aluminium doors are best cleaned using a care spray and soft cloth. Various suitable products are available from most household appliance distributors.
If the appliance is not to be used for any length of time, switch it off, empty it, clean the cabinet and fittings, and leave the door slightly open to allow air circulation and prevent smells.
