Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power before any cleaning
or maintenance.
• The refrigerator should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate of
soda and lukewarm water.
• Do not use abrasive products or detergents. After washing, rinse and dry
thoroughly.
• Clean the shelves and balconies separately by hand using soap and water.
Do not put them in the dishwasher.
• Once cleaning is complete, reconnect the mains power supply.
• If the appliance is not used for prolonged periods of time or in the event
of a prolonged power cut unplug and clean the appliance. The doors
should be left slightly open to prevent the formation of mildew
and smell.
• The door seal should be cleaned periodically.
• Clean the control panel with a dry cloth.
• Fingerprints are easily left on the exterior of this appliance. Use a dry
towel to clean them off.
• Periodically dust the back and underneath of the refrigerator.
• If food products come into contact with the refrigerator’s exterior
surface, we recommend that you clean them
off immediately.
• When disposing of this appliance, remove the door seal to avoid
accidental entrapment.
Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is self-defrosting. The defrosted water is collected in the
evaporating tray at the back of the appliance.
The fridge shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements
within the fridge section.
To move the shelf, lift up the front section and then pull it outwards. To
replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and the lower the front section.
