5. Cleaning and Maintenance

Before realizing any maintenance
operation, including the ones
described in this guide, turn the
refrigerator off of the electric power
removing the plug of the socket.
Never clean your refrigerator with
flammable fluids, such as alcohol, kerosene, gasoline,
tinner, varsol, solvents or other abrasive chemical pro-
ducts such as chlorine, detergents, acids or vinegar,
so you do not damage the surface.
After cleaning it, replace the accessories supplied
with the refrigerator (drawers, shelves, etc.) in their
adequate places, inside the refrigerator.
If any food is poured inside the refrigerator, clean it
immediately. Most of the food can damage, spot or
leave the internal surfaces of the refrigerator with an
unpleasant smell, if they stay for a long time in contact.
Never use metallic spatulas, brushes, abrasive or
alkaline products to clean the plastic surfaces inside
your refrigerator.
Before you start cleaning the refrigerator, remember
that humid objects can easily adhere to extremely cold
surfaces. Thus, do not touch the cold surfaces with
cloths, sponges or even with humid hands.
Internal Part
Clean the inside of the refrigerator and the ac-
cessories with a warm water solution and sodium
bicarbonate (a soup spoon of bicarbonate for each
liter of water). Carefully dry it.
ATTENTION
The plastic parts cannot be washed with
hot water.
Cleaning the Deodorizer
In case of a bad odor in the freezer
compartment and in the refrigera-
tor, act as follows:
1. Set the temperature control of
the refrigerator to MAXIMUM
for about an hour and return to
the former setting.
2. Then, remove the deodorizer
fron the upper part of the com-
partment of the refrigerator and carefully loosen
the deodorizer from inside the cover.
