WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
Periodic cleaning
CAUTION!
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
CAUTION!
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
CAUTION!
When moving the cabinet, lift it by the
front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
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 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.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops,
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.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer compartment 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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, 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
unpleasant smells.
