6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
6.1 Cleaning the appliance
The appliance must never be cleaned by children.
Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only water and a
gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such as a window-
cleaning
product). Never use products containing abrasives or
substances which may attack the lacquered or
painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge or a soft cloth. Do not use steam cleaners to
clean the inside; we recommend the use of refrigerator-specific disinfectants.
Remove the shelves and access
ories, taking care not to apply excessive force when removing. Follow
the instructions provided in the "Top door shelf and bottle container" section carefully. Never wash
removable plastic parts in the dishwasher; use only warm water and washing-up liquid
or water and
vinegar. Take care not to wet the electrical lighting components with water or detergents. Clean the seals
with warm water and then dry.
Make a periodic check on the condensation drip tray at the rear, and
clean it if necessary.
6.2 Switching off the appliance
If the appliance is to be out of use for some time, turn the temperature
selector to OFF.
Then empty the appliance, disconnect it from the mains, and dry any
residual moisture which has collected. Leave the door ajar to
prevent the
humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.
6.3 Practical advice for saving energy
-
Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and well away
from heat sources.
- Do not place hot
foods in the appliance. Wait for foods and drinks to cool to room temperature before
placing them on the shelves.
-
Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the appliance from
warming up too much.
- Clean the condenser (on the rear) periodically to prevent the appliance from losing efficiency.
-
On models equipped with intensive cooling, do not leave this function activated for longer than
absolutely necessary.
- If the appliance is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it off.
