CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance
operation.
This appliance contains hydro-
carbons in its cooling unit; main-
tenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
• 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.
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 pol-
ishes to clean the interior as this
will damage the surface and
leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and
the compressor at the back of the ap-
pliance with a brush. This operation will
improve the performance of the appli-
ance and save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. For this reason it is recommen-
ded that the outer casing of this appli-
ance is only cleaned with warm water
with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equip-
ment to the mains supply.
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor com-
pressor 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 chan-
nel to prevent the water overflowing
and dripping onto the food inside. Use
the special cleaner provided, which you
will find already inserted into the drain
hole.
