Removing the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed, e.g. to wash the grille.

Make sure the door is open when removing the ventilation grille. Unsnap the upper edge of the grille by pulling outward/downward. Then pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.

Internal Cleaning

Clean the cabinet at regular intervals.

Don't use detergents, abrasive powders, high perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or alcohol when cleaning the product

Internal Cleaning

Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply. Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0,5 litre water) Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.

External Cleaning

Use water/neutral soap emulsion for cleaning the surface of stainless steel, anti-finger-print coated. Absolutely not to use abrasive paste.

Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Remove the ventilation grille (see the section "Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption.

Servicing and cleaning the water dispenser.

Never use cleaning agents with a grinding or aggressive effect.

When necessary, clean the surfaces of the dispenser and the water container that are accessible from the outside, using only a soft cloth and warm water.

The dispenser drip bowl can be cleaned with a tepid solution of manual dishwashing agent and water.

If the system is not be used for a long period, it is advisable to remove the filter and empty out the water. Then place it in a sealed plastic bag. Store the filter in a freezer. Turn off the water connection to the refrigerator.

When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor.

When the refrigerator is to be used again, rinse the system through thoroughly by draining off at least three litres (5 pints) of water. Before re-fitting the filter, all its parts must be thoroughly thawed out. If necessary, all systems containing water must be sanitized.
