Care and Maintenance

Regularly clean the appliance with a cloth and a solution of
hot water and neutral detergent specifically formulated for
refrigerator interiors. Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools.
Use the tool provided to regularly clean the defrost water drain
outlet, located on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment
near the crisper draw, in order to ensure defrost water is
removed correctly (see Fig. 1).
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug it from the
mains or disconnect the power supply.

The push in gasket allows it to be
cleaned easily, simply removing it from
its place, starting from the upper corner
part as shown, and then reinserting it
using the reverse procedure used to
remove it.
Refrigerator compartment
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely
automatic.
The formation of water droplets on the rear internal wall of
the refrigerator compartment indicates that the automatic
defrosting is underway.
The defrost water automatically runs into a drain outlet and
then into a container from where it evaporates.
Caution! The refrigerator accessories must not be placed in a
dishwasher.
Food storage
Wrap food to protect it from any water, humidity or
condensation; this will prevent the spread of any odours in the
refrigerator, while also ensuring better storage of frozen food.
Never place warm food in the freezer. Cooling hot foods before
freezing saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance.
Load limits are determined by baskets, flaps, drawers, shelves
etc. Make sure that these components can still close easily after
loading
If the event of prolonged disuse
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, remove all
food, defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the doors open just
enough to allow air to circulate inside the compartments.
This will prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odours.
In the event of a power cut
Keep the doors of the appliance closed. This will allow the food
to stay cold as long as possible. If food has defrosted even
partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
