Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the

plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of

this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev-

ery 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 com-

pressor, 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 over-

flowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use

the special cleaner provided, which you will find

already inserted into the drain hole.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1.

disconnect the appliance from electricity supply

2.

remove all food

3.

defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories

4.

leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food

inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
