• Lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of

food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer compartment,

can possibly cause the skin to be freeze

burnt.

• It is advisable to show the freezing in date

on each individual pack to enable you to

keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this ap-

pliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the

retailer.

• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-

ferred from the foodstore to the freezer in

the shortest possible time.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly

and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indica-

ted by the food manufacturer.

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.

Once a year remove the ventilation grill at

the base of the appliance and clean the air

channels with a vacuum cleaner. This opera-

tion will improve the performance of the ap-

pliance and save electricity 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 (F) situated under the

salad drawers to prevent the water overflow-

ing and dripping onto the food inside. Use

the special cleaner provided (P), which you

will find already inserted into the drain hole.
