Cleaning and maintenance

Appliance maintenance and cleaning
Clean the appliance regularly using a cloth
and a solution of lukewarm water and
neutral detergent specifically formulated for
refrigerator interiors. Never use abrasive
detergents. Clean inside the defrost
water drain outlet on the rear wall of the
refrigerator (near the fruit and vegetable
crisper drawer) regularly, using the tool
supplied with the appliance so as to ensure
defrost water is removed correctly (see
figure).
Before all cleaning or maintenance
procedures, unplug the appliance from the
mains or disconnect the electricity supply.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
No Frost models do not need defrosting.
Storing food
Wrap food so that no water, moisture or
condensate can enter; this will prevent
odours or aromas going from one part to
another in the refrigerator, ensuring better
preservation of frozen foods.
Never place hot food in the freezer. Cooling
hot foods before freezing saves energy and
prolongs the life of the appliance.
When the appliance is not in use
Unplug the appliance from the mains, then
empty, defrost (if necessary) and clean
it. Leave the doors ajar, so that air can
circulate inside the compartments. This will
prevent the formation of mould and bad
odours.
During blackouts
Keep the doors closed to allow the stored
food to stay cold as long as possible. Do
not refreeze partially thawed food. If the
blackout persists, the blackout alarm may
sound.
Changing led
To replace LED lighting, contact the After-
Sales Service for assistance.
LED lights last longer than normal bulbs,
they illuminate better and are more
environmentally friendly.
