6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
The defrosting of your device is fully automatic. The defrost water flows to a collection tank located
at the rear of the unit.
Cleaning inside the fridge
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 cleaned
by 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
▪
Location
Do not place your refrigerator near a heat source, for example. Stove, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid
direct sunlight.
▪
Refrigerator upgrade
Make sure the refrigerator is level. Use the rotatable adjustable feet at the front. If the refrigerator is
not level, the doors and magnetic sealing alignments will be affected and may cause malfunctions.
▪
Do not turn on the refrigerator for 4 hours
After any movement, it must not be connected for 4 hours. This delay allows the coolant to be
adjusted.
▪
Installation
Let your device breathe. Heat is released from the walls so it is important to leave a circulation of air
around your device.
Turn off your appliance
▪
If the unit is not likely to operate for a long period of time:
▪
Remove all food from your appliance from the refrigerator.
▪
Switch off the appliance by setting the thermostat to position 0.
▪
Unplug the appliance.
▪
Clean it thoroughly.
▪
Keep the door open to prevent odors from rising.
