enance & Cleaning
Before any maintenance of cleaning work is
carried out DISCONNECT the appliance from
the ELECTRICITY SUPPLY.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or cleaning products containing
bleach or alcohol.
Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean
to ensure they are clean and free from debris.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust
will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
Defrosting
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the
pipe, into a tray located below the appliance, where it
evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the
centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of
the refrigerator compartment behind the salad
drawer(s). Use the special cleaner provided which
you will find already inserted into the discharge hole.
While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes
progressively covered with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the
cold from reaching the food should be removed whenever
the thickness of the frost exceeds 6 mm (1/4”).
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
1. Remove any food from inside the ****-star
compartment, wrap it in several sheets of
newspaper and store in a cool dry place.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to position << 0 >>. To
accelerate defrosting, place a bowl of hot water
inside the compartment (with a piece of cardboard
underneath the bowl as protection).
3. Remove any loose pieces of ice as soon as possible.
4. When defrosting is completed, clean and dry
thoroughly.
