Quality and freshness influence the

• The whole storage cycle time will
depend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Any type of food, fruit, vegetable or
animal food shall always be packed or
wrapped up before storage.

7. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 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.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.
7.2 Periodic cleaning
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.
time for that kind of food can be
increased by up to three times as well
without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a NaturaFresh
compartment should be taken out of
the drawers roughly 15 - 30 min
before consumption, particularly fruit
and vegetables to be consumed
without any additional cooking
process. Allowing fruit and vegetables
to return to room temperature will
improve the texture and flavour.
7.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is
automatic. The water that condenses
flows into a recipient on the compressor
and evaporates. The recipient cannot be
removed.
7.4 Defrosting of 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.
About 12 hours prior to
defrosting set a lower
temperature in order to build
up sufficient chill reserve in
case of any interruption in
operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance or pull out
electrical plug from the wall socket.
