Defrosting

If the FG10I VFAU refrigerator is left to operate for very long periods of time,
it is possible for ice to form on its inside walls. If the ice becomes considerably
thick, it is advisable to defrost the refrigerator in order to continue to guarantee
good appliance efficiency and avoid higher electricity consumption. To defrost
the appliance, turn the thermostat dial to OFF; we recommend leaving the
refrigerator door open to speed up this operation. Never use tools or utensils
of any type to remove ice as this could damage the evaporator, which is in
contact with the inside walls of the refrigerator. The manufacturer cannot
accept any liability for damage to the appliance caused by failure to abide
by this recommendation. At the end of the defrosting operation and after
cleaning and thoroughly drying the insides of the refrigerator, switch it on by
turning the thermostat dial to the required setting.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance operation on the refrigerator,
be sure to disconnect it from the power supply. This instruction is also found
on a label located on the back panel of the refrigerator.
The outside of the refrigerator (plastic coated steel) can be washed first with
warm water and then rinsed in cold water and dried with a soft cloth. Do not
use abrasive products. To clean the inside of the refrigerator, after removing
any containers of milk or similar liquids for human consumption, wipe with
warm water and if necessary, a little vinegar to remove any grease. Rinse
with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive products,
detergents or soap. It is also advisable to make sure that the air-cooled
condenser of the refrigerating unit at the back of the appliance is clean. If
it is particularly clogged with dust, this should be removed using a vacuum
cleaner. In case of a prolonged period of disuse, we advise you to disconnect
the refrigerator from the power supply, empty it completely, clean it and leave
the door slightly open to prevent the formation of mould and/or unpleasant
odours.
