carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit; maintenance and re-
charging must therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with luke-
warm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as this will
damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the com-
pressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush. This operation will improve the perform-
ance of the appliance and save electricity con-
sumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.

contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason

appliance is only cleaned with warm water

ery time the motor compressor stops, during
normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at the
back of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigera-
tor compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you
will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the
other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means
that there is no buildup of frost when it is in
operation, neither on the internal walls nor on
the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long peri-
ods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from electric-
ity supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance
and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
