CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home).
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed up the defrosting process.
This appliance defrosts automatically and the defrost water is channelled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose (fig. 2). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically check and clean the drain hole, which is located behind the fruit and vegetable crisper, so that the water drains properly.
Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Before cleaning the refrigerator, switch off and remove the plug from the socket.
-Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers to store foods, in order to prevent spills which could stain and cause unpleasant, difficult to remove odours.
-Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appli- ance. Cean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is, among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.
-DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents con- taining ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.
-All removable parts should be taken out and soaked in warm soapy water or detergent. Rinse and dry them thor- oughly before putting them back in the appliance.
-When the appliance is not used for a long time, remember to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leave the doors open to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odors.
-Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior of the refrigerator is located at the back of the thermostat box. When replacing the lamp, unplug the appliance from the electrical socket, unscrew the burned out lamp and re- place it with another with a wattage no higher than 15W (fig. 3).
