MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
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 ODOUR.

Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance above the compressor, where it evaporates.

Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment behind the fruit and vegetable drawer. Use the defrost cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water at regular intervals. Dry throughly before replacing.
Freezer
When the frost has reached a thickness of up to 4mm it can be removed using the ice scraper provided with the appliance. During this operation it is not necessary to disconnect the appliance from the mains and remove the food. Never use metal tools for this operation.
Unscrew the light cover and then pull it outward by pressing as shown in the figure. Unscrew the bulb and replace it with a new 15 watt bulb (available from your nearest Service Force Centre).
Replace the light cover by sliding it into its original position and replacing the screw.
For complete defrosting (once or twice a year) proceed as follows:
-turn the thermostat dial to the ÇOFFÈ position (O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.
-Remove any food from inside the freezer and fridge, wrap it in several sheets of newspaper and store in a cool,dry place.
-Leave the door open, place a basin on the top shelf of the refrigerator compartment, under the drain hole, lift the plug as shown in the fig.
