HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
We recommend defrosting the freezer compartment
once or twice a year, or when the ice on the sides
reaches a thickness of about 3 mm. It is advised to
defrost the freezer compartment when it is almost
empty.
1. Open the door and remove all food products, wrap them
together tightly in newspaper and place them in a cool
place or in a thermally insulated cool bag.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
3. Leave the freezer door open to allow the ice to melt.
4. Remove the water from defrosting collected at the
bottom of the compartment.
5. Clean the inside with a wet sponge, using warm water and
a mild detergent.
Do not use abrasives.
6. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Note: In order to avoid permanent damage to the
compartment's interior, do not use pointed or sharp
metal instruments to remove frost and do not heat up
the compartment.
HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly.
The refrigerator compartment defrosts completely
automatically.
The occasional presence of drops of water on the inside
rear panel of the refrigerator compartment is a sign of the
automatic defrosting phase.
The water from defrosting is channelled into a drain and then
collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Clean the drain hole that collects water from defrosting
regularly.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
cleaning.
• Use a wet sponge with warm water and/or a mild
detergent.
• Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasives.
