Cleaning and maintenance
38
Defrost water is channelled directly into the
dedicated pan on the back of the
appliance, which lets it evaporate by
means of the heat generated by the
compressor.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment needs to be
defrosted manually. When the thickness of
frost or ice exceeds 2 cm, the freezer
should be defrosted.
A few hours before defrosting, set the
thermostat to the max. value in order to
further lower the temperature of the frozen
foods. Unplug the appliance from the
supply mains socket. Remove the frozen
foods from the freezer compartment and
protect them from thawing while cleaning.
Wait until ice thaws and then remove water
from the freezer compartment using a
sponge/absorbing cloth.
4.4 Interior lighting
Interior lighting, if damaged, must be
repaired by Technical Service only.
