Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.
General warnings
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be
carried out by authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of the
appliance are not suitable for washing in
a dishwasher.
Periodic cleaning
Caution! Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside the
appliance.
Caution! Do not damage the cooling
system.
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 them
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 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.
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.
Caution! If you want to keep the
appliance switched on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in case of a
power failure.
