Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.

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
continuous circulation of cold air inside the
compartment, driven by an automatically
controlled fan.

periods, take the following precautions:
•
disconnect the appliance from
electricity supply

food inside from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
