Defrosting
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it
evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing and
dripping onto the food in the fridge, periodically
clean the water discharge hole (F) situated
under the salad drawers. Use the special
cleaner provided (P) which you will find
already inserted into the discharge hole.

Warning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work
is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance
from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Important
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be carried
out by authorised technicians.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water
and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE
DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE
INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at regular
intervals and make sure that the drain hole is never
obstructed, so that the defrost water may flow freely.
Important
Do not use abrasive products.
Periodic cleaning
The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid.
Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good
working order of the appliance.
An accumulation of dust will affect the performance
of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
The structure of the appliance permits cleaning of the
rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner.
1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation grid (2);
2. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3), checking
that there is no water left from the defrosting.
