10. CARE AND CLEANING
9.2 How to best preserve food quality
When buying groceries
Always take the following precautions:
>
Place any packages of raw meat, fish or poultry in
plastic bags so that they do not drip on other foods.
>
Purchase meat, poultry and fish last. Do not leave
your groceries in a warm car after shopping. Keep a
freezer bag in your car and use it in case of very high
temperatures or long trips.
>
Check the production dates and “best before” times
on foods to be sure that they are fresh.
>
Be very careful when buying fresh foods, and only
buy a quantity that can be consumed during your
planned preservation period.
When placing foods in
>
To keep food in the freezer is a good idea to use
freezer containers.
>
Label and date the packages.
>
Be careful to correctly position the food items on
the shelves in a way that does not obstruct the air
circulation vents inside the compartment.
After a prolonged interruption of
electrical power, once the electrical
power is reactivated, an audible signal
will indicate if the temperature has raised
above normal levels. In addition to this
the display will show for one minute the
highest temperature detected inside the
compartments, to allow the user to decide
how to better use the food items.
After one minute the display will resume
normal operation, while the Alarm button
will continue to blink.
Press the Alarm button to display the
highest recorded temperatures.
10.1 Care and Cleaning
To clean the parts made of steel use a microfiber
cloth and the sponge provided in the kit with the
appliance. Always use the cloth and sponge in the
direction of the steel’s satin finish.
Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe with a
slightly damp microfiber cloth.
Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such as
the handles and the profiles of the glass shelves.
You should use special care to keep the ventilation
openings in the appliance or in the cabinet that
houses it free of obstructions.
Carefully follow the detailed directions
that can be found in the provided kit and
never use abrasive or metallic products
which could scratch and damage the satin
finishing on the appliance permanently.
Before performing any sort of cleaning,
disconnect the appliance from the electrical
power supply.
Make sure you do not damage the refrigerant
circuit in any way.
Do not use chlorine-based detergents or
cleaning agents.
10.2 Internal cleaning
Clean the internal and removable parts by washing
them with a solution of lukewarm water, a small
amount of dishwashing detergent.
Rinse and dry right away.
Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to
speed up defrosting.
Do not use water on the electrical parts,
lights and control panel.
The use of chlorine-based detergents or
similar that contains it should be avoided
(bleach, hypochlorite, etc).
Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with
boiling water.
Do not wash any parts of the appliance in
a dishwashing machine since this could
damage or irreparably deform the parts.
