Helpful hints and tips
Cleaning and maintenance
Regularly clean the appliance with a cloth
and a solution of hot water and neutral
detergent specifically formulated for
refrigerator interiors. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or tools. Use the tool provided
to regularly clean the defrost water drain
outlet, located on the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment near the crisper
draw, in order to ensure defrost water is
removed correctly (see Fig. 1).
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance,
unplug it from the mains or disconnect the
power supply.

Food storage
Wrap food to protect it from any water,
humidity or condensation; this will prevent
the spread of any odours in the refrigerator,
while also ensuring better storage of frozen
food.
Never place warm food in the freezer.
Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy and prolongs the life of the
appliance.
If the event of prolonged disuse
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply, remove all food, defrost and clean
the appliance. Leave the doors open just
enough to allow air to circulate inside the
compartments.
This will prevent the formation of mould and
unpleasant odours.
In the event of a power cut
Keep the doors of the appliance closed.
This will allow the food to stay cold as long
as possible. If food has defrosted even
partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within
24 hours.
LED light
LEDs last longer than
traditional light bulbs,
improve internal visibility
and are environmentally
friendly.
Contact the Service
Centre if replacement is necessary.
Door Magnet switch: do not remove, it is
part of the normal operation of the product.
c
Refrigerator compartment
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment
is completely automatic.
The formation of water droplets on the rear
internal wall of the refrigerator compartment
indicates that the automatic defrosting is
underway.
The defrost water automatically runs into a
drain outlet and then into a container from
where it evaporates.
Caution! The refrigerator accessories must
not be placed in a dishwasher.
