10. CARE AND CLEANING
10.1 Care and Cleaning
To clean the parts made of steel use a microfiber
cloth and the sponge provided in the kit with the ap-
pliance. Always use the cloth and sponge in the di-
rection of the steel’s satin finish.
Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe with a
slightly damp microfiber cloth.
Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such as
the handles and the profiles of the glass shelves.
You should use special care to keep the ventilation
openings in the appliance or in the cabinet that hous-
es it free of obstructions.
Scrupulously follow the detailed directions
that can be found in the provided kit and nev-
er use abrasive or metallic products which
could scratch and damage the satin finishing
on the appliance permanently.
Before performing any sort of cleaning, dis-
connect the appliance from the electrical
power supply.
Make sure you do not damage the refrigerant
circuit in any way.
Warning
The use of chlorine-based detergents or
similar that contains it should be avoided
(bleach, hypochlorite, etc).
10.2 Condenser cleaning
A ventilation grille is located either at the top of the
appliance or at the bottom according to the model
type.
To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment at maximum power, sweeping it along
the vent slits. In case of a significant dust build up,
the ventilation grille can be removed to allow a more
accurate cleaning of the filter.
Every 6 months the display shows the message
“Check Cond”, clean the condenser and press for 5
seconds the Enter
button to reset.
Operate as follows:
> Switch o the appliance by pressing the Unit but-
ton
on the main control panel for approx 3 sec-
onds.
> Wait approx 30 minutes, until the finned condenser
cools down to room temperature.
> On models with ventilation at the base remove
the grille at the bottom (magnetically attached) and
take it o. On models with ventilation lift the grille as
shown in the picture.
> Thoroughly clean the grille and the foam filter, by
means of a vacuum cleaner and the soft brush at-
tachment.
> Clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as
shown in the picture, taking care not to damage it.
> Start up the appliance again, by pressing the Unit
button
on the main
Warning
The edges of the condenser are sharp,
therefore use adequate protection for the
hands and arms when cleaning the con-
denser.
10.3 Internal cleaning
Clean the internal and removable parts by wash-
ing them with a solution of lukewarm water, a small
amount of dishwashing detergent.
Rinse and dry right away.
Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to
speed up defrosting.
Warning
Do not use water on the electrical parts,
lights and control panel.
Warning
The use of chlorine-based detergents or
similar that contains it should be avoided
(bleach, hypochlorite, etc).
Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with
boiling water.
Do not wash any parts of the refrigerator in a
dishwashing machine since this could dam-
age or irreparably deform the parts.
