Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.

Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm
water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products or wax polishes to clean
the interior as this will damage the
surface and leave a strong odour.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every 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
compressor, 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
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Fridge Freezer User Manual

Defrosting the freezer

The freezer compartment is frost free. This
means that there is no build up of frost when it
is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor
on the foods.

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. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Warning! If you want to keep
the appliance switched on, ask
somebody to check it once in
a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of
a power failure.
