CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
GENERAL WARNINGS
CAUTION! Unplug the appliance
before carrying out any maintenance
operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons
in its cooling unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be
carried out by authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of the
appliance are not suitable for washing
in a dishwasher.
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.
PERIODIC CLEANING
CAUTION! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or cables
inside the appliance.
CAUTION! Do not damage the
cooling system.
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.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush.
This will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
CAUTION! Never use sharp metal
tools to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could damage it. Do
not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set
a lower temperature, in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve for the
interruption in operation.
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.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out electrical
plug from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
WARNING! Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands. Hands can
freeze to the goods.
3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the
bottom centre, placing a basin underneath to
collect the defrost water.
In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer
