oTo remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on the shelf that you want to remove. Then lift the front of the shelf and carefully pull it out of the grooves.
2)Defrost water outlet
oThe interior of the refrigerator is cooled by the cooling plate that is on the rear wall. Beneath this there is a channel and an outlet for the defrost water.
oIt is important that this channel never becomes clogged, see “The defrost drain hole” section for a detailed explanation of how to keep the channel clear.
3)Crisper drawer and cover
oThe crisper drawer is in the bottom of your refrigerator and there is a cover that goes over it.

oThe outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water.
oThe interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed.

During first use
oWhen you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the fridge freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
oWith dry hands, connect your appliance to your mains supply. Set the thermostat control knob to the position <6> for a 24 hour period, before positioning it to the normal setting of between position <3> and <4>.
oDuring this period of time, you should try not to open the door frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
