Care and cleaning

Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit; maintenance and re-
charging must therefore only be carried
out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation
will improve the performance of the appli-
ance and save electricity consumption.

the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer cas-

the mains supply.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
• not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly
and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indica-
ted by the food manufacturer.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
• switch off the appliance and pull out the
plug from the wall socket
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the drawers,
e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing
bowls with hot water (not boiling) inside the
freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its rest-
ing position, push it in according to the il-
lustration and place it in the bottom freezer
drawer where water can collect
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe
the cabinet dry, then put the drainage
channel back in place.
• switch on the cabinet, insert the plug into
the wall socket and replace the frozen
foodstuff.
