Care and cleaning

Warning! Refer to Safety chapters.

General warnings

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.

The accessories and parts of the

appliance are not suitable for washing in a

dishwasher.

Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first time, the

interior and all internal accessories should be

washed with lukewarm water and some neutral

soap to remove the typical smell of a brand-new

product, then dried thoroughly.

Caution! Do not use detergents or

abrasive powders, as these will damage

the finish.

Initial power on

Caution! Before inserting the power

plug in to the outlet and switching on

the cabinet for the first time, leave the

appliance standing upright for at least

4 hours. This will assure a sufficient

amount of time for the oil to return to the

compressor. Otherwise the compressor

or electronic components may sustain

damage.

Periodic cleaning

Caution! Do not pull, move or damage any

pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Caution! Do not damage the cooling

system.

Caution! When moving the cabinet, lift it

by the front edge to avoid scratching the

floor.

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.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser 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.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

Disconnect the appliance from electricity

supply.

Remove all food.

3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the

appliance and all accessories.

4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.

5. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.

Caution! If you want to keep the appliance

switched on, ask somebody to check it

once in a while to prevent the food inside

from spoiling in case of a power failure.

Defrosting fridge compartment

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 trough 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 at the back of the refrigerator

compartment to prevent the water overflowing

and dripping onto the food inside.

Defrosting freezer compartment

The freezer compartment has automatic

defrosting function.

Due to seasonal changes, a thick layer of frost

may form. To defrost manually, observe the

followings.

•

Disconnect the appliance from the power

supply, and leave open the freezer door.

•

Remove all foods, ice cube tray and shelf or

transfer to refrigerator compartment.
