[. . . ] Defrosting the refrigerator compartment The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. GB Cleaning the appliance The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance. Defrosting the freezer compartment If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually: 1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position . Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again. Until the ideal storage conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer compartment. Replacing the light bulb To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W). Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly. If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open. Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair. The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. [. . . ] The internal refrigerant makes a slight noise even when the compressor is off. These raised temperatures are necessary in order to avoid the formation of condensation on certain parts of the product. This shows the appliance is operating normally. Some of the external parts of the refrigerator become hot. [. . . ]
