CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carry-
ing out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by author-
ized technicians.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the cab-
inet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning
products or wax polishes to clean
the interior as this will damage the
surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer
casing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER
The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the inter-
nal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continu-
ous circulation of cold air inside the com-
partment, driven by an automatically con-
trolled fan.
NO-FROST TECHNOLOGY
In order to facilitate the removal of the ice
layer, the evaporator is assisted by electric
heating during the defrosting procedure.
The ventilator is in OFF position. The de-
frost water will drip in the tray placed at the
compressor and will evaporate. In the
course of the defrosting procedure (approx.
30 minutes) the evaporator becomes warm
but it has no influence on the internal tem-
perature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in
order to avoid any moisture loss as a result
of air circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes.
It is recommended to put all foods in the
baskets in the freezer compartment.
PERIODS OF NON-OPERATION
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electric-
ity supply
2. remove all food
3. clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the lid open to prevent unpleas-
ant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
