If the temperature regulator is set to a
cold temperature, the ambient tem-
perature is high or if the fridge is fully
loaded the compressor will run for a
longer time. This results in colder tem-
perature in the lower part of the fridge
due to the cold air that falls down. It
may result in that food with high water
content start to freeze. If too cold,
change to a higher temperature set-
ting.
Do not place food against or
close to the temperature sensor
(A) or any shelves towards the
water drain hole. This can result
in too cold temperatures.
5. CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before car-
rying out any maintenance oper-
ation.
This appliance contains hydrocar-
bons in its cooling unit; mainte-
nance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by
authorized technicians.
5.1 Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regu-
larly:
• clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral
soap.
• regularly check the door seals and
wipe clean to ensure they are clean
and free from debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odor.
• If you want to check the temperature
of food stored in the refrigerator,
place a glass of water centrally in the
cabinet, and put a proper thermome-
ter with an accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it.
After 6 hours the temperature can be
monitored. The measuring shall be
performed under steady-stated condi-
tions (without changing the load).
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save energy consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
When moving the cabinet, lift it
by the front edge to avoid
scratching the floor.
Many proprietary kitchen surface clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. For this reason use a soft cloth
rinsed in warm water and neutral soap
emulsion for cleaning external surfaces.
Do not use detergents or abra-
sive paste as these will damage
the paint, or stainless steel anti
finger print coating.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.
5.2 Periods of non-operation
