to be in place to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that protrude
until 15 mm from the door.
WARNING! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for
longer that the value shown in the
technical characteristics chart under
"rising time", the defrosted food must
be consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then re-frozen (after
cooling).

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first time, the
interior and all internal accessories should be
washed with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION! Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-
based cleaners as they will damage
the finish.
PERIODIC CLEANING
CAUTION! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or cables
inside the appliance.
CAUTION! Do not damage the
cooling system.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them
clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush.
This will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.

STORING FOOD IN A FRIDGE
COMPARTMENT
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
Position the food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
Keep the food on all shelves no closer than 20 mm
from the rear wall and 15 mm from the door.
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor stops during normal
use.
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.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
CAUTION! Never use sharp metal
tools to scrape off frost from the
evaporator as you could damage it. Do
not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those
recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food
packs during defrosting may shorten
their safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set
a lower temperature, in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve for the
interruption in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
