When moving the cabinet, lift
it by the front edge to avoid
scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories
with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser
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.
7.3 Replacing the CLEANAIR
filter
The carbon air filter is an active carbon
filter which absorbs bad odors and
permits to maintain the best flavour and
aroma for all foodstuffs without risk of
odor cross contamination.
The air filter should be
handled carefully to prevent
its surface from being
scratched.
On delivery, the carbon filter
is in a plastic bag to
preserve performance. Place
the filter in the slot before
activating the appliance.
1. Open the drawer.
2. Pull out the exhausted air filter.
3. Insert the new air filter in the slot.
4. Close the drawer.
To get the best performance the drawer
should be placed properly and the
CLEANAIR filter should be changed
once every year.
The air filter is a consumable
accessory and as such is not
covered by the guarantee.
New active air filters can be
purchased from your local
dealer. To change the air
filter repeat the procedure.
7.4 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
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 container at the
back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
