ENGLISH 8 Cleaning and maintenance Regularly clean the appliance using a cloth and a solution of warm water, with some soft detergent suitable for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator compartment. Do not use abrasive detergents or tools. To ensure continuous and correct flow of defrost water, regularly clean the inside of the draining hole on the back of the refrigerator near the fruit and vegetable drawer, using the tool provided (see fig. 1). Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, unplug the appliance or disconnect it from the power supply. Storing food Wrap food so that no water, moisture or condensate can enter; this will prevent odours or aromas going from one part to another in the refrigerator, ensuring better preservation of frozen foods. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance. If the appliance is not going to be used Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, remove all the food, defrost and clean. Leave the doors open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours. 1 Defrosting the freezer compartment The freezer should be defrosted once or twice a year or when excessive frost is present (3 mm thickness). The amount and rate at which frost accumulates depends on room conditions and how often the door is open. To defrost the unit, switch off the freezer compartment or the whole appliance, depending on the model, and remove all food products. Switch the freezer compartment, or the whole appliance, back on and store the food inside. In this way the stored food will stay cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially thawed food, consume it within 24 hours.
