7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

7.1 Cleaning the refrigerator

Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only water and a gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such as a window-cleaning product). Never use products containing abrasives or substances which may attack the lacquered or painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge or a soft cloth.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the inside; we recommend the use of refrigerator-specific disinfectants. Special SMEG steel cleaning products are available from our Service Centres.

Remove the shelves and accessories, taking care not to apply excessive force when removing.

Never wash removable plastic parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and washing-up liquid or water and vinegar. Take care not to wet the electrical lighting components with water or detergents. Clean the gaskets with warm water and then dry.

To allow the refrigerator to operate at full efficiency, periodically also clean the condenser on the rear with a brush or a vacuum cleaner().

Also make a periodic check on the tray above the compressor (), and clean it if necessary.

When checking the condenser tray, pull out the water drain tube and check that it is unobstructed. Make sure to replace both the tray and the tube correctly.

7.2 Switching off the refrigerator

If the refrigerator is to be out of use for some time, turn the thermostat knobs to 0.

Then empty the compartments, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains, and dry any residual moisture which has collected. Leave the door ajar to prevent the humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.

7.3 Practical advice for saving energy

-Install the refrigerator in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and well away from heat sources;

-Do not place hot foods in the refrigerator or freezer sections. Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before placing them on the shelves;

-Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the compartments from warming up too much;

-Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing efficiency;

-On models equipped with the rapid freezing function, do not leave this function activated for longer than absolutely necessary;

-If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off;

-Thaw frozen foods in the body of the refrigerator in order to exploit the cold stored in the frozen foods, which will be transferred to the refrigerator if this procedure is used.
