HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE FREEZER
Defrost the freezer compartment once or twice a year, or when the ice on the walls reaches a thickness of about 3 mm. If possible, defrost the freezer when it is nearly empty. 1. Remove the food from the freezer, wrap in a newspaper and group together in a cool place or in a portable cooler. 2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. 3. Leave the door open to allow the frost to melt. 4. Remove the defrost water from the compartment bottom. 5. Clean the interior using a sponge dampened in a solution of warm water and neutral detergent. Do not use abrasive products. 6. Rinse the interior and dry thoroughly. Note: Do not use sharp or pointed metal instruments to scrape off ice; do not heat the freezer compartment artificially.

HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment. Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. Clean the defrost water drain outlet regularly using the tool supplied with the appliance in order to ensure defrost water is removed correctly. Before carrying out any cleaning operations, disconnect the appliance from the power supply. � Use a sponge dampened in lukewarm water and/or neutral detergent. � Rinse the interior and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
