HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR
COMPARTMENT
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Do not expose the appliance to heat sources,
direct sunlight, etc., since this will increase
energy consumption.
• Do not cover the vents or air outlets.
• When thawing food items, place them in the
refrigerator compartment to make use of the low
temperature.
• Keep the door open as little as possible.
• Do not put food in the refrigerator when still hot.
• Do not leave the low temperature compartment
door open.
Clean the refrigerator compartment regularly.
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is fully
automatic.
The formation of water droplets on the rear internal wall of
the refrigerator compartment indicates that the automatic
defrosting is underway. Defrost water is channelled to a
runoff and collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Clean the run-off channel regularly, using the supplied
instrument, in order to guarantee a continuous outflow of
defrost water.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains.
• Use a sponge soaked in lukewarm water and/or neutral
detergent.
• Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
materials.
• Clean the air vents regularly with a vacuum cleaner or a
brush.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth.
Prolonged disuse
1. Empty the refrigerator and low temperature
compartments.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.
3. Defrost the low temperature compartment, clean and
dry both compartments.
4. Leave the doors open to prevent the formation
unpleasant odours.
