compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler com-
partment from the 0°C compartment can
be removed only for cleaning. To remove

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is au-
tomatic.
The water that forms flows into a recipient
on the compressor and evaporates. This re-
cipient cannot be removed.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always
form around the top compartment.
Important! Defrost the freezer when the
frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5
mm.
