We particulary recommend that you periodically clean the defrost-water
drainage outlet, located in the centre of the drainage groove in the refrig-
erator compartment, to prevent the defrost water form overflowing on to
foods stored in the compartment.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into
the discharge hole.

The inner walls of the freezer are automatically defrosted
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0"
or disconnect from the electricity supply.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off.

Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity supply.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumu-
late in electrical components, which could cause an electric shock! Hot
vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is switched back on.
Warning!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peel,
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.

Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can
attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is
recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen
food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.
2. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or discon-
nect from the electricity supply.
3. Clean the appliance and the inte-
rior accessories with lukewarm
water and with a little bicarbonate
of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of
water).
4. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
5. Check the water drain hole on the
rear wall of the fridge. Clear a
blocked drain hole with the aid of
the drain cleaning tool included
with the appliance.
6. When everything is dry switch the appliance back on.
Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near radiators or other sources of continuous
warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera-
tion of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall
of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will
then be used to cool the fridge.
