ENGLISH

• Lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of

food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately af-

ter removal from the freezer compart-

ment, can possibly cause the skin to be

freeze burnt.

• It is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to enable

you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, you should:

Care and cleaning

Caution! Before carrying out any

maintenance operation, disconnect the

power supply.

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its

cooling unit; maintenance and recharging

must therefore only be carried out by au-

thorized technicians.

Warning! The accessories and parts of

the appliance are not suitable for

washing in a dishwasher.

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.

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

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.

• Make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the

retailer.

• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the

freezer in the shortest possible time.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapid-

ly and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indica-

ted by the food manufacturer.

Important! 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

Frost is automatically

eliminated from the

evaporator of the re-

frigerator compart-

ment every time the

motor compressor

stops, during normal

use. The defrost wa-

ter drains out

through a trough into

a special container at the back of the appli-

ance, over the motor compressor, where it

evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the de-

frost water drain hole in the middle of the

refrigerator compartment channel to pre-

vent the water overflowing and dripping

onto the food inside. Use the special clean-

er provided, which you will find already in-

serted into the drain hole.
