Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm wa-
ter and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to en-
sure they are clean and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Important! Do not pull, move or damage any pipes
and/or cables inside the cabinet.
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 odor.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor
at the back of the appliance with a brush. This opera-
tion will improve the performance of the appliance and
save energy consumption.
Important! Take care of not to damage the cooling
system.
Important! When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front
edge to avoid scratching the floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain
chemicals that can attack/damage the plastics used in
this appliance. For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in
warm water and neutral soap emulsion for cleaning ex-
ternal surfaces.
Important! Do not use detergents or abrasive paste as
these will damage the paint, or stainless steel anti
finger print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains
supply.
Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can
be removed to wash the
grille.
Make sure the door is open
when removing the ventila-
tion grille:
1. Loosen the upper
edge of the grille by
pulling outward/down-
ward.
2. Pull the grille straight out to completely remove it.
3. Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor
compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a drain hole into a special con-
tainer at the back of the appliance, over the motor
compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodi-
cally clean the defrost
water drain hole in the
middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to
prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto
the food inside.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take
the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accesso-
ries
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant
smells.
Important! 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.
