CARE & CLEANING
Warning! Always unplug your appliance before any maintenance work. Never pull
on the power cord, but only on the plug itself.
Cleaning
For hygiene reasons, regularly clean the appliance (sidewalls and interior and exterior
accessories).
Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can damage plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice, butyric
acid or acetic acid.
• Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
• Remove food from the appliance. Store it in a cool place and keep well covered.
• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water with a diluted
white vinegar or bicarbonate of soda solution.
• After cleaning them, rinse surfaces with clear water and dry them.
• After everything is dry, plug the appliance back into the plug.

Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner.

Replacing the light

The light inside the fridge uses a LED. To replace it, please contact your after sales service or
an approved technician.

Defrosting the freezer

Warning! No thawed food may be replaced in the freezer. Place it in the refrigerator
then eat it quickly.
A thin coating of frost will slowly form on the inside walls of the freezer. This layer should be
removed. Never use a sharp object as it could damage the appliance.
For hygiene and food conservation reasons, we recommend defrosting the freezer at least once
a year by proceeding as follows:
• Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Remove any food from the compartment and place it in a special container to ensure that there
is no break in the cold chain (e.g. in an ice box or insulated bag, etc.).
•
freezer door open (
Leave the
appliance to recover the water from defrosting. You can also speed up this process by placing
a bowl of hot water inside the compartment.
• Once defrosting is complete, dry the inside properly.
• Plug the power cord back in to return the appliance to service.
• Wait until the freezer has reached the recommended temperature before putting the food back
in it.
Refreezing a thawed product encourages the spread of bacteria. This may become a health
hazard if the bacteria that spreads are pathogens, as these may cause more or less serious
food poisoning depending on the type of bacteria involved. If in doubt, cook the food
involved.
