Leave the appliance door open to allow melting of the ice.
Remove large pieces of ice if necessary with dishcloth or something that will not damage the
walls.
Do not use hot water or other electric heaters to melt the accumulated ice.
After defrosting, remove the accumulated ice / water and try the appliance with a soft cloth.
Restart the unit according to the start instructions. Never use a knife or other sharp instrument
to scrape ice inside.
Cleaning the inside
After defrosting you should clean the appliance internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda.
Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm
soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing them. Condensation will form on the
back wall of the fridge; however, it will normally run down the back wall and into the drain hole behind
the vegetable drawer.
Cleaning the outside
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft
brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the appliance.
If you're going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the appliance
from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also leave the door
open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.
Moving the unit
Location
Do not place your appliance near a heat source, for example stove, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid direct
sunlight.
Leveling
Make sure the appliance is level. Use the adjustable feet at the front. If the appliance is not level, the
doors and magnetic sealing alignments will be affected and may cause malfunctions.
Do not turn on the appliance for 4 hours
After any movement, it must not be connected for 4 hours. This delay allows the coolant to be adjusted.
Installation
Let your device breathe. Heat is released from the walls so it is important to leave a circulation of air
around your device.
Energy saving tips
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them inside. An overload will force the
compressor to run longer. Food that freezes too slowly may lose quality, or deteriorate.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance.
