gases. They do not constitute an error and do not affect the performance of the
refrigerator, they are only due to the operation of the compressor when
moving the refrigerant through the system.
4.3 Food preservation tips
Cooked meat and fish should always be stored on a shelf away from raw
meat and fish to avoid possible transfer of bacteria. Store raw meat and
fish in a container large enough to catch any juices that may be released
and cover it properly. Place the container on the bottom shelf.
Leave space around the food and allow air to circulate inside the unit.
Check that all parts of the unit are well ventilated.
To prevent flavours from transferring or food from drying out, store or
cover food separately. It is not necessary to wrap fruit and vegetables.
Always allow cooked food to cool to room temperature before placing in
the refrigerator. This will help to maintain the internal temperature of the
unit.
To prevent cold air from escaping from inside the unit, try to limit the
number of times the door is opened. We recommend that the door is only
opened when food needs to be taken in or out.
4.2 Replacing the bulb
This procedure may only be carried out by professionals.
5. CLEANING
5.1 Defrosting
This process is automatic for No-Frost refrigerators.
5.2 Cleaning the inside and outside of the unit
Dust behind the refrigerator and the floor should be cleaned regularly to
improve the cooling effect and save energy.
Check the door rubber regularly to make sure that there is no debris or
dirt left on the door. Wipe it with a damp cloth of soap and water or
diluted detergent.
The inside of the refrigerator should be cleaned often to avoid odours.
Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply before cleaning the
interior, and remove all food, beverages, shelves and drawers, etc....
Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the inside of the refrigerator with a
solution of warm water and two tablespoons of baking soda. Then rinse and
wipe it with a cloth. After cleaning, open the door and allow it to air dry
before plugging it back in.
For areas that are more difficult to clean (such as narrow slots, corners or
nooks and crannies), it is advisable to clean them often with a soft cloth or
brush and, if necessary, with the aid of other tools (such as a toothpick) to
ensure that no contaminants or bacteria build up.
Do not use soap, detergents, powders or sprays as they may cause odours
inside the refrigerator or contaminate food.
