3 / ON-GOING MAINTENANCE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

DEFROSTING
Your refrigerator has an automatic defrosting
system. The appliance's rear surface becomes
covered with frost when the com- pressor is working and
defrosts when the compressor is off. When the frost
melts, the water evaporates by itself.
The compartment must always be defrosted when the
layer of frost is approximately 4mm thick. In any case, this
compartment must be defrosted at least once a year.
You may use the plastic spatula supplied with the appliance but
never use any metal item or an electrical appliance.
Disconnect your refrigerator before proceeding to
defrost it.
• Pack your frozen food in a freezer bag and keep it cool.
• Leave the door open and sponge away the melt water as it
forms.
• To accelerate the defrosting process, you can place a bowl of
hot water in the compartment and close the door.
• Once defrosting is complete, proceed to clean your appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Switch off your refrigerator before proceeding to
clean it.
We recommend that you clean and disinfect your appliance
regularly
• Clean the interior with water and bicarbonate of soda using a
sponge or a dishcloth to prevent any bad smells occurring.
• Never, under any circumstances, use solvents or abrasive
detergents because these could damage the interior of your
appliance. Also do not put any of the interior's accessories in the
dishwasher.
• We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance with a
cloth once a year because if it is dirty, your refrigerator's output
reduces and its consumption increases.

CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB

Disconnect your appliance before proceeding to
change the light bulb.
• The bulb is behind the thermostat panel. Remove the grill.
• Remove the bulb by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
• Insert a new bulb of the same power as its predecessor.
• Replace the grill, reconnect the appliance and switch it on.
