CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Disconnect the power before cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or abrasive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and clean with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in dishwashers.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar. After cleaning connect the appliance to the power supply and reload it when the temperature is cold enough.
SWITCH OFF APPLIANCE
WHEN NOT IN USE
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time (vacations) set the thermostat knob to OFF (0) position, disconnect the power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of packages.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the unit. To avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into the base.
Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the Refrigerator
•Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
•Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator.
•Don’t overload the refrigerator.
•Don’t open the door unless necessary.
•Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long periods, it is suggested, after a careful cleaning, to leave the door ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to avoid possible formations of condensation, mold or odors.
