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.
Once a year remove the ventilation grill at the base of the appliance and clean the air chan-
nels with a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.
CAUTION!
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 refrigerator
P F
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev-
ery time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole (F) situated under the salad
drawers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the spe-
cial cleaner provided (P), which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
