5. CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance opera-
tion.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by author-
ized technicians.

5.1 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regular-
ly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm 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.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odor.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save energy consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
When moving the cabinet, lift it by
the front edge to avoid scratching
the floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/dam-
age the plastics used in this appliance.
For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in
warm water and neutral soap emulsion for
cleaning external surfaces.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
paste as these will damage the
paint, or stainless steel anti finger
print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.

5.2 Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instruc-
tions below:
• switch off the appliance and pull out the
plug from the wall socket
• remove any stored food, wrap it in sev-
eral layers of newspaper and put it in a
cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the draw-
ers, 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
resting position, push it in according to
the illustration and collect a water con-
tainer.
• 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 fro-
zen foodstuff.
