Maintenance of your
Refrigerator-Freezer
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated in the refrigera-
tor. Clean regularly the water drain opening «G».
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol or any cleanig product con-
taining alcohol because it can damage the cabi-
net.
Use lukewarm water and neutral soap or bicar-
bonate of soda for cleaning the interior and the
exterior of the appliance. Never use detergents
nor abrasive powders.
Clean the black grill on the read of the applian-
ce (condeser), motor and the upper and downer
ventilation slots with a brush or vacuum cleaner.
This way the performance of the appliance will
improve and energy consumption reduced.
Clean the water container above the motor.
In order to remove the shelve over the vegeta-
ble drawer (some models only), first of all pull
out the security flanges as shows in the draw
(see fig. 13). Once it has been put back, return
the flanges to the original position.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not in use
take the following precautions:
Unplug the appliance.
Remove all the food.
Defrost and clean the interior and all accesso-
ries.
Leave the door ajar to permit the air to circulate
in the interior and thus avoid unpleasant smells.
