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

CAUTION! Never use sharp metal

tools to scrape off frost from the

evaporator as you could damage it.

Do not use a mechanical device or any

artificial means to speed up the

thawing process other than those

recommended by the manufacturer.

About 12 hours prior to defrosting set

a lower temperature in order to build

up sufficient chill reserve in case of

any interruption in operation.

A certain amount of frost will always form on the

freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a

thickness of about 3-5 mm.

1. Switch off the appliance or pull out electrical

plug from the wall socket.

2. Remove any stored food and put it in a cool

place.
