Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners con-

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
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evap-
orator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor stops, during nor-
mal use. The defrost water drains out through a
trough into a special container at the back of
the appliance, over the motor compressor,
where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigera-
tor compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
