Care and cleaning

Caution! Before carrying out any

maintenance operation, disconnect the

power supply.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit; maintenance and recharging

must therefore only be carried out by author-

ized technicians.

Warning! The accessories and parts of

the appliance are not suitable for

washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

• clean the inside and accessories with luke-

warm water and some neutral soap.

• regularly check the door seals and wipe

clean to ensure they are clean and free

from debris.

• rinse and dry thoroughly.

Important! Do not pull, move or damage any

pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax

polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-

age the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance with

a brush . This operation will improve the per-

formance of the appliance and save electrici-

ty consumption.

Important! Take care of not to damage the

cooling system.

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 cas-

ing of this appliance is only cleaned with

warm water with a little washing-up liquid

added.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to

the mains supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically

eliminated from the

evaporator of the re-

frigerator compart-

ment every time the

motor compressor

stops, during normal

use. The defrost water

drains out through a

trough into a special

container at the back of the appliance, over

the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the de-

frost water drain hole in the middle of the re-

frigerator compartment channel to prevent

the water overflowing and dripping onto the

food inside. Use the special cleaner provi-

ded, which you will find already inserted into

the drain hole.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on

the freezer shelves and around the top com-

partment.

Important! Defrost the freezer when the frost

layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.

To remove the frost, do these steps:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in sever-

al layers of newspaper and put it in a

cool place.

3. Remove the freezer drawers.

4. Defrosting can be accelerated by placing

bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside

the freezer.
