Defrosting
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing and dripping onto the food in the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole (F) situated under the salad drawers. Use the special cleaner provided (P) which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Warning

Important
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.
Important
Do not use abrasive products.
Periodic cleaning
The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid. Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good working order of the appliance.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.
The structure of the appliance permits cleaning of the rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner.
1.Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation grid (2);
2.Carefully pull the air deflector out (3), checking that there is no water left from the defrosting.
