Care & Maintenance
CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.
Internal Cleaning:
- Do not pour water over the appliance.
- Clean the cavity periodically with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water (5 ml to 0.5 litre).
- Clean accessories separately with soap and water; do not use a dishwasher.
- Do not use abrasive products, detergents, or soaps.
- Rinse with clean water and dry carefully.
- Reconnect the plug with dry hands after cleaning.
External Cleaning:
- Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
- Be careful of sharp edges on the underside.
- Dust the rear and compressor area once or twice a year with a brush or vacuum cleaner to maintain performance and energy efficiency.
When the appliance is not in use:
- For long periods, disconnect from electricity, empty, clean the inside, and leave the door open to prevent odours.
Defrosting:
The appliance is frost-free. In the unlikely event defrosting is needed:
- Two hours before, turn the thermostat to maximum. Remove food and store in cool bags.
- Protect the floor and compartments with towels/containers.
- Switch off and unplug the appliance.
- Remove drawers and shelves, leave doors open.
- Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters, sharp knives, or tools for defrosting.
- When ice has melted, clean and dry the interior. Wipe up spills.
- Replace the plug, turn on the appliance, and return food.
Using the drainage tool:
Occasionally use the drainage tool to ensure the hole at the rear of the fridge compartment remains unblocked. Excess moisture drains into the container above the compressor where it will evaporate.
Replacing a faulty bulb:
The LED bulb cannot be replaced by the consumer. Contact Customer Service for assistance.
