Cleaning and Care
Warning
Before any maintenance or cleaning
work is carried out, DISCONNECT the
appliance from the ELECTRICITY
supply.
Important
This appliance contains hydrocarbons
in its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be
carried out by authorised technicians.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, disconnect from the electricity supply,
empty all foods and clean the appliance,
leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant
smells.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of
water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN
THE INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE
THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG
SMELL.
Clean the drain hole of the water trough at
regular intervals and make sure that the drain
hole is never obstructed, so that the defrost
water may flow freely.
● Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them
thoroughly in between.
Important
Do not use abrasive products.
Periodic cleaning
The appliance is equipped with a ventilation
grid. Keep clean to guarantee good ventilation
and good working order of the appliance.
An accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
The structure of the appliance permits cleaning
of the rear zone close to the wall, using a
vacuum cleaner.
1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventilation
grid (2);
2. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3)
checking that there is no water left from the
defrosting.
