CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, the interior and all internal
accessories should be washed with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap to
remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION! Do not use
detergents, abrasive powders,
chlorine or oil-based cleaners
as they will damage the finish.
CAUTION! The accessories
and parts of the appliance are
not suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
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 them clean to ensure they are
clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
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.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided with the appliance.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free. This
means that there is no build up of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the
internal walls, nor on the foods.
Period of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
period, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all
accessories.
4. Leave the doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
