Cleaning and maintenance
EN
Do not use abrasive, corrosive or acidic
detergents, scouring powders, stain
removers, creams or specific products for
cleaning steel, ovens or dishes. Do not use
rough or abrasive cloths and sponges or
scouring pads. The use of abrasive
products could irreparably damage the
surface of the product.
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
• Use a soft cloth and water.
• 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.
• Clean the tank above the compressor.
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.
4.3 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.
If ice thicker than 3-5 mm should form on
the inside walls of the refrigerator
compartment, turn off the appliance and
defrost it manually.
The drainage channel opening for water
from defrosting is located inside the
refrigerator compartment under the
refrigeration plate. Check regularly that it is
not blocked by food scraps or anything else
and clean it using the tool provided, if
necessary.
Occasional presence of frost
inside the freezer compartment is
normal.
Do not use electrical devices
(e.g. hair dryers) or sprays for
defrosting, the plastic parts could
be damaged.
