Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation,
switch the product off by pressing button (1) on the control

from the power supply.
Cleaning the freezer compartment
Defrosting of the freezer compartment is completely
automatic.
If you wish to clean the compartment, switch the appliance off as
previously indicated and proceed as follows:
1. Open the freezer door and remove all the food, wrapping it close
together in sheets of newspaper and put in a very cool place or in
a portable cooler.
2. Clean the inside of the freezer with a sponge soaked in a solution
of lukewarm water and/or mild detergent. Do not use abrasive
substances.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Close the freezer door.
5. Reconnect the appliance to the power supply and press the
button (1) again for 3 seconds. An acoustic signal (temperature
alarm) will sound; to deactivate it, press the button (11). When
the red light (10) goes off put the food back in the freezer.
Note:
• For a more thorough cleaning of the freezer compartment the
glass shelves can be removed by slightly lifting the front above
the stop and pulling outwards.
• If the compartment is not used for prolonged periods, it is
advisable to leave the freezer door open to prevent the
formation of mould, odours and oxidation.
Cleaning the refrigerator compartment
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely
automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in
progress. The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole
and collected in a container, where it evaporates.
Clean the defrost water drain hole regularly using the tool supplied,
in order to ensure the constant and correct flow of defrost water.
