Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm 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.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cab-
inet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products or wax polishes to clean
the interior as this will damage the
surface and leave a strong odor.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and save
energy consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
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 wa-
ter and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning
external surfaces.
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.
5.2
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 inter-
nal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continu-
ous circulation of cold air inside the com-
partment, driven by an automatically con-
trolled fan.
5.3
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1.
disconnect the appliance from electric-
ity supply
2.
remove all food
3.
clean the appliance and all accessories
4.
leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
