Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
•clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
•regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
•rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a brush. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance and save elec- tricity consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemi- cals that can attack/damage the plastics used in this appli- ance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains sup- ply.
Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-
pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a drain hole into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that there is no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven by an automati- cally controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
•disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
•remove all food
•defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance and all ac- cessories
•leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some smaller but an- noying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
Important! The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and circulating sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.
Important! The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.
Problem
The compressor operates contin- ually
Possible cause
The Temperature Regulator may be set incorrectly
Solution
Set a warmer temperature
