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.

Defrosting the freezer compartment
It is perfectly normal for ice to form. The
amount of ice which forms and the rate
at which it accumulates will depend on
ambient temperature and humidity, and on
the frequency of door opening.
Set the coldest temperature four hours
before removing food from the freezer
compartment, so as to extend the storage
time of food during defrosting.
To defrost, switch the appliance off and
remove the drawers. Place the frozen food
in a cool place.
Leave the freezer door open to allow the
frost to melt.
To prevent water leaking onto the floor
during defrosting, place an absorbent cloth
on the bottom of the freezer compartment
and wring it out regularly.
Clean the interior of the freezer. Rinse and
dry carefully.
Switch the appliance on again and place
food back in the freezer compartment.
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.
