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.
Notes: The water tank and dispenser components are not dishwasher-proof.
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.
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 food properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside.
▪ Storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
▪ Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
