This section has been dedicated to the end-user and is extremely important
for the appliance to work correctly in the long-term.
A few simple operations conscientiously carried out at set periods can avoid
the need of servicing by specialised personnel.
The operations to be made do not require any particular technical knowledge
IMPORTANT
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE OR
CLEANING WORK ON THE APPLIANCE DISCONNECT THE

DON’T WASH THE APPLIANCE DIRECTLY WITH HIGH PRESS. WATER JETS.
AVOID SPRAYING WATER DIRECTLY ONTO ELECTRICAL PARTS.
CLEANING
How often you will need to clean the appliance depends largely on how
often you use it.
Analyze the use and schedule the required cleaning operations.
To clean the appliance’s inside and outside, use a neutral or slightly
alkaline detergent.
We recommend that you clean the inside with a disinfectant every once
in a while. Impurities may be removed using a damp cloth. Removing the
shelves makes cleaning the inside easier.
Never use metallic tools for clearing appliance; it could be damaged.
For a deeper cleaning of the compartment, remove the shelf guide.
IMPORTANT
THE APPLIANCES ARE MADE OF AISI 304 STEEL WHICH IS
CORROSION PROOF UNDER NORMAL USE.
AVOID USING DETERGENTS OR SIMILAR CLEANERS THAT MAY BE
DETRIMENTAL TO ITS PROTECTION.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CONDENSING COIL
It is important that the coil is capable of offering the maximum possible
heat exchange. It is therefore important that its surface be always free of
dirt or dust that may be deposited by the effect of the fan’s operation.
Use a vacuum cleaner and soft bristled brush to remove all the
impurities such as paper or dust that may have deposited on the coil.
When brushing the condenser, exercise great care so as to avoid
damaging the aluminium grid or the fans.
If a filter is present, remove and clean it. Afterwards, put it in the original
position. If damaged or too dirty, ask for its replacement and change it.
DOOR/DRAWER GASKETS
To ensure a perfect seal, it’s important to check the gaskets to be
undamaged and perfectly closing.
POWER CABLE
Check that the power cable that connects the appliance to the mains
socket is not cut, cracked or altered in such a way as to compromise the
insulation. Contact your authorised service centre if this requires
maintenance. If the cord is damaged, have this replaced by the
manufacturer or its an authorized technical assistance service, or by
someone with similar qualification, so as to avoid any risks.
LONG SHUTDOWNS
If the appliance is inactive for long periods of time proceed as follows:
Turn the main switch to the OFF position and Remove the plug from its socket.
Empty the appliance and clean as in point CLEANING.
Leave the door ajar to avoid bad odours from forming.
Protect the compressor group from dust.
