6. CARE AND CLEANING
6.1 Cleaning the interior
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
WARNING!
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage the
finish.
CAUtIoN!
Unplug the appliance before carrying
out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains
hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;
maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried
out by authorized technicians.
6.2 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.
WARNING!
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
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.
WARNING!
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.
6.3 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 water drains out through
a drain hole into a special container
at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the
defrost water drain hole in the middle of
the refrigerator compartment channel
to prevent the water overflowing and
dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided,
which you will find already inserted
into the drain hole.
