CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carry-
ing out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by author-
ized technicians.

PERIODIC CLEANING

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm 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.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cab-
inet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products or wax polishes to clean
the interior as this will damage the
surface and leave a strong odour.

DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER

A certain amount of frost will al-
ways form around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost
layer reaches a thickness of about
3-5 mm.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
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
casing 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.
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
during normal use. The defrost water drains
out through a trough into a special contain-
er at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Periodically clean the defrost water drain
hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
partment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food in-
side. Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted into the
drain hole.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place.
3. Open the door.
4.
When defrosting is completed, dry the
interior thoroughly.
