5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

5.1 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to
low temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on
the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warm-
er settings to allow automatic defrost-
ing and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
5.2 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporat-
ing liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly
if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it

6. CARE AND CLEANING

6.1 Cleaning the interior

Before using the appliance for the first
time, wash the interior and all internal
accessories with lukewarm water and
some neutral soap so as to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product,
then dry thoroughly.
Do not use detergents or abra-
sive powders, as these will dam-
age the finish.
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance oper-
ation.
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these
should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruits and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided. When in con-
tact, lemon juice can discolor the plastic
parts of your fridge. It is therefore rec-
ommended to keep citruses in separate
containers.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on
the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.

6.2 Periodic cleaning

The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
• regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
