Care and cleaning
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in warm water and
neutral soap emulsion for cleaning external surfaces.
Do not use detergents or abrasive paste as these will damage the paint, or stainless steel
anti finger print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
Replacing the Clean Air Control filter
To get the best performance replace the Clean Air Control filter once every year.
New active filters can be purchased from your local dealer.
Refer to "Installation of the Clean Air Control filter" for instructions.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
1. Loosen the upper edge of the grille by pulling outward/downward.
2. Pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.
3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evap-
orator of the refrigerator compartment every time
the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a drain hole
into a special container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where it evap-
orates.
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.
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.
