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 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.

Defrosting of 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.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting set a lower
temperature in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve in case
of any 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.
