CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
GENERAL WARNINGS
CAUTION! Unplug the appliance
before carrying out any maintenance
operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons
in its cooling unit; maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be
carried out by authorized technicians.
The accessories and parts of the
appliance are not suitable for washing
in a dishwasher.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Before using the appliance for the first time, the
interior and all internal accessories should be
washed with lukewarm water and some neutral
soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new
product, then dried thoroughly.
CAUTION! Do not use detergents,
abrasive powders, chlorine or oil-
based cleaners as they will damage
the finish.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty
ones. Salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of the freezer.
Risk of frostbites.
• It is advisable to show the freezing date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
• Make sure that the commercially frozen food
products were adequately stored by the retailer.
• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the food store to the freezer in the shortest
possible time.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by
the food manufacturer.
PERIODIC CLEANING
CAUTION! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or cables
inside the appliance.
CAUTION! Do not damage the
cooling system.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe them
clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush.
This will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor stops, during normal
use. The defrost water drains out through a trough
into a special container at the back of the
appliance, over the motor compressor, where it
evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water
drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
