Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Before cleaning the refrigerator, switch off and
remove the plug from the socket.
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use
sealed containers to store foods, in order to prevent spills
which could stain and cause unpleasant, difficult to remove
odours.
- Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appli-
ance. Clean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked
in warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which
is, among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not
have any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.
- DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents
containing ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.
- All removable parts should be taken out and soaked in
warm soapy water or detergent. Rinse and dry them thor-
oughly before putting them back in the appliance.
-
When the appliance is not used for a long time
, remember
to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leave the doors
open to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant
odors.

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE

appliance from the electricity (by pulling out
the plug or turning off the general switch in
your home).
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration
circuit.
Do not use mechanical devices or instruments
other than those recommended by the
manufacturer to speed up the defrosting
process.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is chan-
nelled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose
(fig. 2). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will
make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to
periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is
located behind the fruit and vegetable crisper, so that the
water drains properly.
How to Defrost the Freezer
- Every so often, remove the frost with the scraper provided
with the appliance (do not use knives or metal objects).
- If the frost is more than 15 mm thick, the freezer must be
defrosted.
Proceed as follows:
- Turn the temperature control (
AA
AA
A) to the "
OFFOFF
OFFOFF
OFF" position
and disconnect the plug from the mains supplier
- Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in news
paper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool
place.
- Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws
completely.
- You can speed this process by placing containers of
warm water in the compartment.
After defrosting dry the fridge and freezer compartment
before switching the refrigerator back on.
To start up the appliance again, move the temperature
control to the original operating position.
