OPERATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR AND
FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Regularly clean the appliance using a cloth and a solution of warm water, with some
soft detergent suitable for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator compartment. Do
not use abrasive detergents or tools. To ensure continuous and correct flow of
defrost water, regularly clean the inside of the draining hole on the back of the
refrigerator near the fruit and vegetable drawer, using the tool provided.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the
appliance or disconnect it from the power supply.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, remove all the food, defrost and clean. Leave the doors
open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and
bad odours.
Keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored food will stay cold as long as possible. Do
not refreeze partially thawed food, consume it within 24 hours.
