Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.

Internal cleaning

Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.

NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES,TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG ODOUR.

When the appliance is not in use

When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

Periodic cleaning

The appliance is equipped with a ventilation grid. Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation and good working order of the appliance.

An accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

The structure of the appliance permits cleaning of the rear zone close to the wall, using a vacuum cleaner.

1.Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation grid (2);

2.Carefully pull the air deflector out (3).

Defrosting

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops.The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing and dripping onto the food in the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole (F) situated under the salad drawers. Use the special cleaner provided (P) which you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
