Cleaning
Before cleaning the appliance, unplug
it from the mains or disconnect the
fuse.
Clean the refrigerator compartment once
a month.
Clean the freezer compartment
whenever you defrost it.
Avoid water coming into contact with the
controls or the interior lamps.
Clean all the parts of the appliance, with
the exception of the door seal, with a
mixture of warm water and detergent.
Never use cleaning products that contain
solvents or acids. Wipe the door seal
with clean warm water only, and dry well.
Clean the drainage duct (Figure U/5)
and the drainage outlet (Figure U/6)
situated in the refrigerator compartment
more frequently in order that the water
may circulate freely. Use a toothpick or
similar object to clear the outlet. When
cleaning the refrigerator, prevent water
from running into the evaporation trough
of the compressor.
The exterior of the appliance may be
cleaned with any product that is suitable
for sprayed surfaces. Keep the door
closed while cleaning the outside to
prevent the product coming into contact
with the plastic parts of the appliance or
the door seal.
When you have finished cleaning the
appliance, reconnect ir and start it
running.
Energy-Saving
Advice
• Install the appliance in a cool, dry,
easily-ventilated room. Protect it from
direct sunlight and sources of heat
(radiators, ovens, etc...).
• Leave hot food to become completely
cool before putting it into the
appliance.
• When defrosting the appliance, put the
frozen products in the refrigerator. The
cold air given off by these products will
be used to cool the food in the
refrigerator compartment.
• Always defrost the appliance when a
thick layer of ice frost has formed.
• The formation of frost influences the
performance of the appliance, impedes
the passage of cold air to the products,
and increases energy consumption.
• Avoid opening the door frequently.
When introducing or removing food,
keep the door open for as short a time
as possible. The more the door is
opened, the quicker the ice will form
on the freezing surface.
