• always disconnect your refrigerator before any
type of servicing.
• never use toxic products, abrasives, or steel-wool
sponges as these will damage the surface of your
product.
• use a soft sponge or damp cloth, and a neutral soap to wash. Rinse the refrigerator,
and dry it with a clean and dry cloth. You can also use a solution of bicarbonate of
soda (one tablespoon dissolved in two litres of tepid water) to clean the inside.
• don't use steel-wool sponges or sharp objects as these could scratch the refrigera-
tor or its shelves. To make cleaning easier all our models come with high-resistance
glass shelves with anti-spill edges. These give you time to clean liquid spillages
before they spread.
• use a brush, cloth, or sponge to remove dust build-up from the condenser. Try to do
this at least once every 6 months

Your refrigerator comes with an anti-condensation
mechanism. The heating of some areas external to your
refrigerator is normal. This happens to prevent water
droplets from condensing on the outside of your refrigerator.
However, if room temperature and humidity are higher than
usual, light condensation may form. dry with a cloth.
gEnEral PrECaUtionS
• don't touch the inside of the freezer door with wet hands.
• don't let children hang from the doors or play near the refrigerator when the door is
open, as they may injure themselves, bang into it, or get trapped.
• don't let children hang from shelves or the Smart Station door, as excessive weight
could break these.
• Sometimes, it can cause trouble to reopen the refrigerator door immediately after
closing. This normal occurrence is a result of a vacuum formation inside the refrigerator,
caused by air at different temperatures combining. Wait 10 to 15 seconds and the doors
will open easily once again.
Before throwing out your old refrigerator or freezer, take the following precuations to prevent
the risk of a child entrapment.
• Take off the doors
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• For absences greater than a fortnight unplug your refrigerator.
• Leave your refrigerator, including the ice-box, clean and empty.
• Leave the door partly-opened, using something to block it from closing, as this

energy by activating the Holidays Function.
