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.
