MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance will ensure a long life for your appliance.
Remember to remove the plug before you clean/defrost the fridge, change
the fridge light bulb, etc.
Cleaning
Clean the outside of the fridge at regular intervals with a damp cloth. Use
a solution of bicarbonate of soda and water to clean the inside. Do not
use abrasive products.
An outlet for draining water is located in the middle of the back of the
fridge. Make sure this outlet is not obstructed; clean regularly.
Defrosting
In products without NO FROST technology, it is recommended to defrost
the fridge every time a thick layer of frost is formed. To speed up the
defrosting process, leave the doors open with the appliance turned off;
to remove ice from the internal parts, avoid using sharp or mechanical
objects (knives, scissors or any methods other than those recommended
by the manufactuer) so as to prevent damaging the refrigerating circuit.
NOTE: a small amount of ice on the back of the fridge compartment is
normal.

Adjust the thermostat to „0"
and remove the plug from the
