Cleaning and maintenance

General tips
• Regularly clean the appliance with a cloth and a
solution of warm water and neutral detergent
specifically formulated for refrigerator interiors.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or tools.
• To ensure proper drainage of defrost water,
regularly utilize the drain filter from the fitting bag
to clean the defrost water drain outlet. This outlet
is situated on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment (see Fig. 1). Always keep the drain
filter inserted into the drain outlet to prevent any
blockages caused by dirt.
•
Before servicing or cleaning the appliance, unplug
it from the mains or disconnect the power supply.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
Food moisture evaporating inside the refrigerator
or the entry of air moisture into the refrigeration
compartment during daily use can both lead to frost
formation in the refrigeration compartment. In such
cases,manually raising the temperature setting of the
refrigerator can facilitate automated defrosting.
The formation of water droplets on the rear wall
of the refrigerator compartment indicates that the
automatic defrosting is underway.
The defrost water automatically runs into the drain
outlet and then into a container where it evaporates.
CAUTION!
The refrigerator accessories must not
be placed in a dishwasher.

If you do not use the appliance for a prolonged
period
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
3. Remove all food.
4. Defrost and clean the appliance.
5. 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.
• Do not re-cool food if it has returned to room
temperature. Consume within 24 hours.

Only an authorized technician is allowed to replace
