ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some areas are colder than others and you
must store your food in the appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that they can be kept
safely.
Leave a space between the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid different products
contaminating each other.
Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back of the appliance, this is a particularly
cold and damp area of the appliance and water droplets and frost condense there as part of your
refrigerator's normal operation.
The coldest area, indicated by the logo "OK", is designed for delicate, sensitive and highly perishable
food: meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream-based
dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-
to-use vegetables sold in plastic bags and, more generally, any fresh product whose consume-by
date is linked to its storage at a temperature of +4°C or below.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Defrosting your appliance is completely automatic. The defrosting water flows into a collection tray
located at the rear of the appliance.
Cleaning inside the fridge
After defrosting you should clean the fridge internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda.
Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm
soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the fridge. Condensation will
form on the back wall of the Fridge; however, it will normally run down the back wall and into the
drain hole behind the salad bin.
Cleaning outside the fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the fridge exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the fridge and the adjacent components can be vacuumed
using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the fridge.
If you're going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the
appliance from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also
leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.
Moving the unit
After any movement, it must not be connected for 4 hours. This delay allows the coolant to be
adjusted.
Energy saving tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from
heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
