CAUTION!

rying out any maintenance opera-
tion.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must there-
fore only be carried out by author-
ized technicians.
5.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regular-
ly:
• 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.
Do not pull, move or damage any
pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age 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 operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save energy consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
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/dam-
age the plastics used in this appliance.
For this reason use a soft cloth rinsed in
warm water and neutral soap emulsion for
cleaning external surfaces.
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.
5.2 Cleaning the ventilation grille
The ventilation grille can be removed for
washing.
Make sure the door is open and then:
• Loosen the upper edge of the grille by
pulling outward/downward.
• Pull the grille straight out to completely
remove it.
• Vacuum clean under the cabinet.
