7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug
the appliance from the mains or disconnect the
electrical power supply.
Periodically clean the appliance with a cloth and a
solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent
specifically for refrigerator interiors. Never use
abrasives. Never clean refrigerator parts with
flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or
explosion. Clean the outside of the appliance and the
door seal with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Condenser placed in the rear of the appliance should
be cleaned regularly using a vacuum cleaner.
Important:
• The buttons and control panel display must not be
cleaned with alcohol or alcohol-derived substances,
but with a dry cloth.
• The refrigeration system pipes are located near the
defrost pan and can become hot. Periodically clean
them with a vacuum cleaner.
• To remove or insert the glass shelf, move up the
front part of the shelf to pass the stopper.
If ice crystals are still visible on the food, it may be
frozen again, although flavour and aroma may be
affected.
If food is found to be in a poor condition, it is best to
throw it away.
For power failures lasting up to 24 hours.
1. Keep the door of the appliance closed. This will
allow the stored food to stay cold as long as
possible.
For power failures lasting more than 24 hours.
1. Empty the freezer compartment and arrange the
food in a portable freezer. If this type of freezer is
not available and, likewise, no artificial ice packs
are available, try to use up the food, which is more
easily perishable.
2. Empty the ice tray.
