Cleaning
Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it
from the mains or disconnect the fuse.
Clean the refrigerator compartment once a
month.
Clean the freezer compartment whenever you
defrost it.
Avoid water coming into contact with the
controls or the interior lamps.
Clean all the parts of the appliance, with the
exception of the door seal, with a mixture of
warm water and detergent. Never use cleaning
products that contain solvents or acids. Wipe
the door seal with clean warm water only, and
dry well.
Clean the drainage duct (Figure k /5) and the
drainage outlet (Figure k/6) situated in the
refrigerator compartment more frequently in
order that the water may circulate freely. Use a
toothpick or similar object to clear the outlet.
When cleaning the refrigerator, prevent water
from running into the evaporation trough of the
compressor.
The exterior of the appliance may be cleaned
with any product that is suitable for sprayed
surfaces. Keep the door closed while cleaning
the outside to prevent the product coming into
contact with the plastic parts of the appliance
or the door seal.
When you have finished cleaning the
appliance, reconnect ir and start it running.

Energy-Saving Advice

• Install the appliance in a cool, dry, easily-
ventilated room. Protect it from direct
sunlight and sources of heat (radiators,
ovens, etc...).
• Leave hot food to become completely cool
before putting it into the appliance.
• When defrosting the appliance, put the
frozen products in the refrigerator. The
cold air given off by these products will
be used to cool the food in the refrigerator
compartment.
• Always defrost the appliance when a thick
layer of ice frost has formed.
• The formation of frost influences the
performance of the appliance, impedes
the passage of cold air to the products,
and increases energy consumption.
• Avoid opening the door frequently. When
introducing or removing food, keep the
door open for as short a time as possible.
The more the door is opened, the quicker
the ice will form on the freezing surface.
