Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to

Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before cleaning.
–Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation of odours that are difficult to remove.
–Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.
–What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent- based products.
–Dishwashable: All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If you own a dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the dishwasher.
Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them.
–What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.
–Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to prevent the formation of bad odours and mould.
–This special sound when the thermoregulator and compressor are turned on is a normal state, which appears during the working process of the appliance’s electric installation.
