7. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 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.
CAUTION!
The accessories and parts of
the appliance are not
suitable for washing in a
dishwasher.
CAUTION!
Clean the control panel with
a moist cloth. Do not use
any detergents. After
cleaning, wipe the control
panel dry with a soft cloth.
7.2 Periodic cleaning
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.
7.3 Defrosting of the
refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment 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 compartment channel to
prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided with the appliance.
7.4 Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free.
This means that there is no build up of
frost when it is in operation, neither on
the internal walls, nor on the foods.
7.5 Installing and replacing the
CleanAir+ filter
The CleanAir+ filter is an activated
carbon filter that absorbs bad odours and
allows you to preserve the best flavour
and aroma for all foodstuffs without risk
of odour cross-contamination.
Handle the air filter carefully
to avoid scratching its
surface.
On delivery, the air filter is in
a plastic bag to preserve
performance.
Install the air filter before activating the
appliance.
1. Unpack the air filter from the plastic
bag.
2. Open the plastic housing and put the
pleated surface on the grid, fitting the
filter inside the marked area on the
gridded surface.
