CARE AND CLEANING
FIRST USE
Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal ac-
cessories with lukewarm water and some
neutral soap so as to remove the typical
smell of a brand-new product, then dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abrasive
powders, as these will damage
the finish.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
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.
PERIODIC CLEANING
The equipment has to be cleaned regular-
ly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5
ml to 0,5 liter of water)
• 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
odour.
Once a year remove the ventilation grill at
the base of the appliance and clean the
air channels with a vacuum cleaner. This
operation will improve the performance of
the appliance and save electricity con-
sumption.
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
FREEZER
The freezer compartment of this model,
on the other hand, is a "no frost" type.
This means that there is no buildup of
frost when it is in operation, neither on
the internal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the contin-
uous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.
