7. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first time,
the interior and all internal accessories should
be washed with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap to remove the typical smell of a
brand-new product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION!
Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, chlorine or oil-based cleaners
as they will damage the finish.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of the
appliance are not suitable for washing in
a dishwasher.
7.2 Periodic cleaning
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.
7.3 Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
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.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided with the appliance.

7.4 Defrosting of 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.
7.5 Replacing the CleanAir filter
The CleanAir filter is an active carbon filter
which absorbs bad odours and permits to
maintain the best flavour and aroma for all
foodstuffs without risk of odour cross
contamination.
The air filter should be handled carefully
to prevent its surface from being
scratched.
On delivery, the carbon filter is in a
plastic bag to preserve performance.
Place the filter in the slot before
activating the appliance.
1. Open the drawer.
2. Pull out the exhausted air filter.
