Care and Cleaning
Care and Cleaning
Condenser cleaning
Internal cleaning
To clean the stainless steel parts 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 make to steel shiny, wipe with a slightly damp
microfiber cloth.
Do not use the sponges on aluminum parts, for example, the door
handles and the glass shelves trims, particular care should be taken
not to obstruct the vent openings of the appliance and of the built - in
units..
Carefully follow the detailed directions that can be
found in the provided kit and never use abrasive
or metallic products which could scratch
and permanently damage the satin finishing
on the appliance.
Prior to carry out any cleaning operation disconnect
the appliance from the electrical supply.
Pay attention not to damage in any way
the refrigerating circuit.
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.
Cleaning the condenser is not normally necessary in a home
environment. If it should become necessary, switch off the appliance
by pressing the Unit button on the main command panel for
approximately 3 seconds.
In models with ventilation, remove the protection grill on the base
of the appliance after having unscrewed the mounting screws.
In models with ventilation in the upper part of the appliance, remove
the protection grill mounted with pressure hooks by pulling outward.
Wait approximately 30 minutes until the condenser has reached
room temperature. Remove the upper or lower front ventilation grill
(depending on the model) and use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner
to remove any dust deposits as illustrated, being careful not to cause
damage.
Take care to also clean the filter which is located behind the front
ventilation grille.
Clean the internal and removable parts by washing them with a solution
of tepid water, a small amount of dishwashing detergent and a pinch
of baking soda.
Rinse and dry right away.
It is highly recommended not to use mechanical devices ot other
means to speed up the defrosting process.
The condenser fins are sharp, therefore use ad-
equate protection for the hands and arms when
cleaning the condenser.
Do not use water on the electrical parts, lights
and control panel.
