The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:

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.
5.3
Defrosting
Your appliance 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. The absence of
frost is due to the continuous circulation
of cold air inside the compartment,
driven by an automatically controlled fan.
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.
5.4
Periods of non-operation

periods, take the following precautions:
1.
Disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply.
2.
Remove all food.
3.
Clean the appliance and all
accessories.

prevent unpleasant smells.
