Interior cleaning
You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It will be easier to clean
when food stocks are low. You can remove the drawers and shelves for a
more thorough clean. Wipe the inside of the freezer with a weak solution
of bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water using a wrung-out
31
sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the shelves and baskets.

place.
Although this appliance automatically defrosts, a layer of frost may occur on the
freezer compartment’s interior walls if the freezer door is opened frequently or
kept open too long. If the frost is too thick, choose a time when the freezer is

the mains power and leave the doors open. Ventilate the room thoroughly to
accelerate the process.
