6. CARE AND CLEANING

6.1 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned
regularly:
• 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.
Clean the condenser and the compressor
at the back of the appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.

6.2 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then
dry thoroughly.
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
CAUTION!
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 damage the
surface and leave a strong
odour. Take care of not to
damage the cooling system.
Do not use detergents or
abrasive powders, as these
will damage the finish.
• do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.

6.3 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.

6.4 Defrosting the freezer

CAUTION!
Never use sharp metal tools
to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could
damage it. A temperature rise
of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may
shorten their safe storage life.
Do not use a mechanical
device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing
process other than those
recommended by the
manufacturer.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
