HOW TO CLEAN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
Clean the refrigerator compartment
regularly.
Refrigerator compartment defrosting is
fully automatic.
The formation of water droplets on the rear
internal wall of the refrigerator compartment
indicates that the automatic defrosting is
underway. Defrost water is channelled to a run-
off and collected in a container, where it
evaporates. Clean the run-off channel regularly,
using the supplied instrument, in order to
guarantee a continuous outflow of defrost
water.
Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the
mains.
• Use a sponge soaked in lukewarm water
and/or neutral detergent.
• Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use
abrasive materials.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Clean the air vents regularly with a vacuum
cleaner or a brush.
• Clean the exterior with a soft cloth.
Prolonged disuse
1. Empty the refrigerator and low temperature
compartments.
2. Unplug the appliance from the mains.
3. Defrost the low temperature compartment,
clean and dry both compartments.
4. Leave the doors open to prevent the
formation unpleasant odours.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Do not expose the appliance to heat
sources, direct sunlight, etc., since this will
increase energy consumption.
• Do not cover the vents or air outlets.
• When thawing food items, place them in
the refrigerator compartment to make use
of the low temperature.
• Keep the door open as little as possible.
• Do not put food in the refrigerator when
still hot.
• Do not leave the low temperature
compartment door open.
