CARE AND CLEANING
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit; maintenance and re-
charging must therefore only be carried
out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation
will improve the performance of the appli-
ance and save energy consumption.
Important!
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Important! When moving the cabinet, lift it
by the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water
and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning ex-
ternal surfaces.
Important! Do not use detergents or
abrasive paste as these will damage the
paint, or stainless steel anti finger print
coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
1. Loosen the upper edge of the grille by
pulling outward/downward.
2. Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.
3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup 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 compart-
ment, driven by an automatically controlled
fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long pe-
riods, 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 door/doors open to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
Important! If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a while to
prevent the food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
WHAT TO DO IF…

smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
