CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the appliance
A special antibacterial protection on the
appliance's interior walls prevents bacterial
growth and keeps them clean. They must
nevertheless be cleaned regularly in order to
keep them in good condition.
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
• The appliance may be cleaned with water
or alcohol-based liquid detergents (e.g.
window cleaning products).
• Avoid aggressive detergents and rough
sponges in order not to damage the
surfaces.
• Use a soft brush to remove dust and fume
deposits from the condenser on the rear of
the appliance.

Cleaning the inside of the appliance
• Clean the inside of the appliance with
diluted liquid detergent and warm water,
adding a little bit of vinegar.
• The door balconies and shelves can be
removed: tap them upwards with your fist,
first on one side and then on the other in the
insertion zone.
• Remove any ice thicker than 3-5 mm. Do not
use sharp objects or spray products.
Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment does not require
defrosting, as any ice which forms on the
refrigeration plate will melt when the
compressor is idle. The defrosting process is
automatic.
Defrost water is channelled directly into the
dedicated pan on the back of the appliance,
which lets it evaporate by means of the heat
generated by the compressor.
Interior lighting
Interior lighting, if damaged, must be repaired
by Technical Service only.

Leave the door ajar to ensure that
