4) Fruit and vegetable drawer at the bottom of the refrigerator compartment: Store
vegetables and fruits (except tropical fruits).
To avoid food contamination, follow the instructions below:
Prolonged opening of the door can significantly increase the temperature in the
•
compartments of the appliance: only open the door for the time required to place /
remove food.
Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drainage
•
systems.
Store fresh meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator so that they do not
•
come into contact with or drip on other food.
Do not put unpackaged food in the refrigerator.

If the appliance is left empty for a long time, switch it off, defrost, clean, dry and leave
•
the door open to prevent mold from forming inside the appliance.

packaging.
THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT defrosts automatically. Drops of ice that form on the
back wall of the refrigerator compartment thaw during the time the compressor is not
working and the thaw water runs down the thaw water runoff channel to the tray on top
of the compressor (Fig. 1), where it evaporates.
REGULARLY CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Note: before cleaning the cooling device and its rear compartment part,
the device must be disconnected from the mains by unplugging.
Protect the appliance inner surfaces and plastic parts from fats, acids and sauces. In
•
case of accidental spills – immediately clean with warm soapy water or dishwashing
detergent. Wipe dry.
Regularly clean the hermetic gaskets of the doors. Wipe dry.

Regularly clean the thaw water channel space in the refrigerator
•
with a special cleaner for that purpose (see fig.).
DO NOT use detergents containing abrasive particles, acid, alcohol or
•
benzene for cleaning the appliance inner and outer surfaces. DO NOT
use for cleaning cloths or sponges that have coarse surfaces intended
for scrubbing.
