Cleaning and maintenance.
Unplug the plug from the power outlet, position the thermostat on 0 and remove any food
present in the refrigerator before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation.
In order to clean the appliance, use a soft or slight damp cloth.
Do not use very wet substances, liquids or cloths to prevent water from entering into the
appliance and irreparably damaging it.
It is recommended that you clean the interior of the refrigerator at least once a month
without using detergents. If the plastic parts remain in contact with oil (animal or vegetable
oil) for a long time, they may become permanently damaged.
Thoroughly clean the rubber profile of the door and, at least once a year, remove any
accumulated dirt and dust which may have deposited on the back of the appliance.
Replacing the interior lamp.
Before replacing the lamp, turn the refrigerator off by positioning the thermostat on 0 and
unplug the plug from the power outlet.
Remove the protective cover and replace the lamp with another having the same
technical characteristics indicated on the same (max 10W). Put the protective cover back
on correctly before turning the appliance on.
Defrosting.
Unplug the plug from the power outlet, position the thermostat on 0 and remove any food
present in the refrigerator before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation.
The defrosting operation requires a few hours, thus if there is any food in the ice
compartment, store it in a fresh location or in another refrigerator if necessary.
Leave the compartment open until the frost that has formed inside has melted. Remove
the water which has accumulated and thoroughly dry all the surfaces.
When defrosting the appliance, do not use sharp objects since they may damage the
appliance.
Do not accelerate the ice compartment defrosting process using electrical devices,
chemical substances or mechanical means other than those recommended by the
manufacturer.
It is recommended that you defrost the ice compartment 2 or 3 times a month or whenever
more than 2-3mm of frost has formed.
