Care and cleaning
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evap-
orator of the refrigerator compartment every time
the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into
a special container at the back of the appliance,
over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole (F) situated under the salad draw-
ers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner pro-
vided (P), which you will find already inserted into
the drain hole.

Cleaning the ventilation grille

The ventilation grille can be removed for washing.
1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventila-
tion grid (2);
2. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3),
checking that there is no water left from
the defrosting.

1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
