Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket, so both
parts of the appliance are out of operation.
Open the doors of both parts of the appliance and
clean the refrigerator according to 'Regular cleaning'.
Maintain and clean the freezer as following:
Wipe off the defrost water with a cloth or sponge in
direction of the sides of the cooling plates. The water
gathers in the outlet channel practically formed in the
bottom of the appliance and can be removed
according to the figure on the right.
Put an adequately high bowl or dish under the outlet.
After defrosting and leading the water out, wipe all
surfaces thoroughly.
Put the mains plug into the mains socket and replace
the food.
We recommend that you operate the appliance at the
highest position of the thermostatic control for some
hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing
temperature as soon as possible.
Regular cleaning
We recommend that you wash the inside of the
refrigerator every 3-4 weeks using lukewarm water then
wipe it (it is practical to clean the inside of the freezer and
defrost it at the same time).
Household cleaner or soap must not be used.
After disconnecting from the electricity supply wash the
appliance with lukewarm water then wipe it. Clean the
door gasket with clean water. After cleaning, wipe all
surfaces dry and reconnect to the electricity supply.
We also recommend that you remove the dust and dirt
collected on the back of the refrigerator and the
condenser and clean the evaporator tray on top of the
compressor once or twice a year.
When the refrigerator
is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
follow these steps:
Disconnect from the electricity supply.
Remove all food from the refrigerator.
Defrost and clean thoroughly.
Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of
unpleasant smells.
