Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: Simply using the ADJUSTMENT button until all indicator lights are switched off (appliance switched off) is not enough to eliminate all electrical contact.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost manually:

1.Use the ADJUSTMENT button until all indicator lights are switched off (appliance switched off) .

2.Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another freezer or in a cool place.

Cleaning the appliance

•The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products, bleach or ammonia.

•The removable accessories may be soaked in warm water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

•The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or sealed properly.

•If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.

3.Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water in the freezer compartment.

4.Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram).

5.Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before switching the appliance on again.

6.Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal storage conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer compartment.
