Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to Safety

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 cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Store meat
for at most 1-2 days.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes: cover and
place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly
and place in a special drawer. Bananas,
potatoes, onions and garlic must not be
kept in the refrigerator if not packed.
• Butter and cheese: place in a special
airtight container or wrap in an
aluminium foil or a polythene bag to
exclude as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close with a cap and place on
the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on
the bottle rack.
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.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush . This operation will improve
