Care and cleaning

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.
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.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
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 situated under the
salad drawers to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the
products to know how long to keep them.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided with the appliance.
Cleaning the air channels
1. Remove the plinth (A), then the
ventilation grid (B).
2. Clean the ventilation grid.
3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (C),
checking that there is no water left from
the defrosting.
4. Clean the lower part of the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner.
