Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Before cleaning the refrigerator, disconnect it from the
electrical mains (by removing the plug from the socket
or by turning off the main electricity switch for the
apartment or house).
- The materials used to build your appliance are hygienic
and do not transmit odors. However, to preserve this quality
of your appliance, the food stored in it must be well closed
and covered to prevent spills which could stain it and cause
unpleasant odors.
- Only water and baking soda. To clean both the interior and
exterior, use a sponge with warm water and baking soda,
which is, among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do
not have any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.
- What not to use. Never use abrasives, bleach or ammonia.
Solvents and similar products are strictly prohibited.
- All the removable part should be taken out and allowed to
soak in hot water and dishwashing soap. Rinse and dry them
well before putting them back in the refrigerator.
- And the back? This is where dust builds up, causing prob-
lems with the appliance. Use a long adapter on your vacuum,
at a medium power setting, to remove it. Be delicate!
- When the appliance is not used for a long time. If you
decide not to use the appliance (during the summer), it must
cleaned and the doors left open to prevent the formation of
mold and unpleasant odors.
- How to replace the refrigerator lamp. The lamp is located
on the pack part of the thermostat knob box. When replac-
ing the lamp, unplug the appliance from the electrical socket,
unscrew the burned out lamp and replace it with another
following the steps illustrated in figure 5. Make sure that
the wattage is not greater than 15W.
