Care and Cleaning
Condenser cleaning
Internal cleaning
Scrupulously follow the detailed directions that can be found
in the provided kit and never use abrasive or metallic products
which could scratch and damage the satin finishing on the ap-
pliance permanently.
Before performing any sort of cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electrical power supply.
Make sure you do not damage the refrigerant circuit in any
way.
Do not bring cold glass parts into contact with boiling water.
Do not wash any parts of the refrigerator in a dishwashing
machine since this could damage or irreparably deform the
parts.
Clean the internal and removable parts by washing them
with a solution of lukewarm water, a small amount of dish-
washing detergent.
Rinse and dry right away.
Do not use mechanical devices or other methods to speed up
defrosting.
The edges of the condenser are sharp, therefore use adequate
protection for the hands and arms when cleaning the con-
denser.
Do not use water on the electrical parts, lights and control
panel.
To clean the parts made of steel use a microfiber cloth and
the sponge provided in the kit with the appliance. Always
use the cloth and sponge in the direction of the steel’s satin
finish.
Every now and then, to polish the steel, wipe with a slightly
damp microfiber cloth.
Do not use the sponge on aluminium parts, such as the han-
dles and the profiles of the glass shelves.
You should use special care to keep the ventilation open-
ings in the appliance or in the cabinet that houses it free of
obstructions.
A ventilation grille is located either at the top of the appli-
ance or at the bottom according to the model type.
To clean it use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attach-
ment at maximum power, sweeping it along the vent slits. In
case of a significant dust build up, the ventilation grille can
be removed to allow a more accurate cleaning of the filter.
Every 6 months the display shows the message “Check
Cond”, clean the condenser and press for 5 seconds the En-
ter button to reset.
Operate as follows:
Switch off the appliance by pressing the Unit button on
the main control panel for approx 3 seconds.
Wait approx 30 minutes, until the finned condenser cools
down to room temperature.
On models with ventilation at the base remove the grille
at the bottom (magnetically attached) and take it off. On
models with ventilation lift the grille as shown in the picture.
Thoroughly clean the grille and the foam filter, by means of
a vacuum cleaner and the soft brush attachment.
Clean it thoroughly from any dust build up as shown in the
picture, taking care not to damage it.
Start up the appliance again, by pressing the Unit button
on the main
