DEFROSTING

Your refrigerator has an automatic defrosting system. The

pressor is working and defrosts when the compressor is off. When
the frost melts, the water evaporates by itself.

when the layer of frost is approximately 4mm thick. In any case, this
compartment must be defrosted at least once a year.
For defrosting, you can use a plastic scraper or any plastic tool but
never anything metallic or an electrical appliance.
Disconnect your refrigerator before proceeding to defrost it.
• Pack your frozen food in a freezer bag and keep it cool.
• Leave the door open and sponge away the melt water as it forms.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, you can place a bowl of hot
water in the compartment and close the door.
• Once defrosting is complete, proceed to clean your appliance.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Switch off your refrigerator before proceeding to clean it.
We recommend that you clean and disinfect your appliance
regularly
• Clean the interior with water and bicarbonate of soda using a
sponge or a dishcloth to prevent any bad smells occurring.
• Never, under any circumstances, use solvents or abrasive deter-
gents because these could damage the interior of your appliance.
Also do not put any of the interior's accessories in the dishwasher.
• We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance with a
cloth once a year because if it is dirty, your refrigerator's output
reduces and its consumption increases.
compartment must always be defrosted

light bulb.
