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 con-
taining 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.
- Replacing the light bulb. Switch off and remove plug from
the mains socket before replacing the bulb
Remove the light cover and unscrew the bulb and replace it
with a new one, with wattage no higher than
10 watts. See fig 3.
CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the 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 be-
hind 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 (A) to the "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.
