Automatic defrosting
The refrigerator features automatic defrosting. In some periods, however, frost may
form on the rear wall of the refrigerator. This normally happens when the compartment
is very full or when many new items of are stored in the refrigerator. In situations such
as these the compressor must run for long periods of time. As automatic defrosting
takes place while the compressor is at a standstill, the refrigerator may not defrost
completely before the compressor restarts. In these instances, manual defrosting is
required.
Manual defrosting
Stop the compressor by pressing button ‘
I ’ (1) and disconnect the power supply to
the refrigerator.
Any loose frost on the evaporator can be removed using a plastic or wooden scraper.
Never use a knife or a sharp object as these can damage the evaporator.
Warning
It is dangerous to use electrical apparatus, knives or sharp objects to speed up the
defrosting process.
Cleaning
Stop the compressor by pressing button ‘
I ’ (1) and disconnect the power supply to

use cleaning agents that scour. Clean the sealing strip around the door regularly to
prolong its life. Use only clean water for cleaning the sealing strip. The plastic parts
of the cabinet cannot withstand boiling water (max. 85°C). It is important to prevent
water from getting into the control panel
Clean the melt water drain in the refrigerator compartment using the cleaning pin
