CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Your device is equipped with the no-frost system, so defrosting is done automatically.
No de-icing operation is therefore required.
Cleaning inside the fridge
Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. 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
Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket. 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
▪
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.
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.
▪
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
▪
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
▪
Refrigerator storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
▪
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items
as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
