• The condenser on the rear wall must always be clean and free of
dust or kitchen fumes deposits, therefore clean the dust periodically
with non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner..
• Clean also the drip pan above the compressor. If you removed
the pan, please make sure you replace it to the same position, and
check that it is in completely horizontal position!
• Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy
consumption, so you need to remove them regularly (with the
exception of the NO FROST model). Do not use sharp pointed
objects, solvents or sprays.
