4.2 Cleaning the appliance
A special antibacterial protection on the
appliance's interior walls prevents bacterial
growth and keeps them clean. They must
nevertheless be cleaned regularly in order
to keep them in good condition.
How to preserve the exterior finish of your
exclusive appliance
SMEG – DOLCE&GABBANA
Use only a soft, dry cloth for normal
cleaning of the surfaces. In the case of
persistent residues or to restore the original
outer finish, moisten a soft cloth with water
and pass it over the surface to be cleaned,
letting it dry naturally.
For more persistent stains such as grease/
oil and any food residues (fruit juice, coffee,
tomato), remove them immediately with a
soft cloth and water. If the stains are not
removed, moisten a soft rag with a window
cleaner. Gently rub the surface to be
treated, covering an area larger than just
the stain. Do not spray the detergent directly
on the stain.
Do not use abrasive, corrosive or acidic
detergents, scouring powders, stain
removers, creams or specific products for
cleaning steel, ovens or dishes. Do not use
rough or abrasive cloths and sponges or
scouring pads. The use of abrasive
products could irreparably damage the
surface of the product.
Cleaning the inside of the appliance
• Clean the inside of the appliance with
diluted liquid detergent and warm water,
adding a little bit of vinegar.
• The door balconies and shelves can be
removed: tap them upwards with your
fist, first on one side and then on the other
in the insertion zone.
• Remove any ice thicker than 3-5 mm. Do
not use sharp objects or spray products.
WARNING
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from
the mains before cleaning or
maintenance.
• Do not pull the cable to remove the
plug.
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
CAUTION
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts
made of steel or that have metallic
surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickel-
or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. powder products, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not clean glass shelves or covers
with warm water when they are cold.
• Glass shelves and covers are heavy,
use special care when removing them.
