Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to

disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

Cleaning the appliance

 The external and internal parts, as well as the rubber

seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been

soaked in lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda or

neutral soap. Do not use solvents, abrasive products,

bleach or ammonia.

 The removable accessories may be soaked in warm

water and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry

them carefully.

 The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be

removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum

cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be

switched off and the plug must be pulled out before

cleaning the appliance.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

 The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials

which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free

refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food

must always be covered or sealed properly.

 If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended

period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors

open.

Defrosting the appliance

! Follow the instructions below.

Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost

the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit

beyond repair.

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water

is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special

discharge outlet (see

diagram) where the heat

produced by the

compressor causes it to

evaporate. It is necessary

to clean the discharge hole

regularly so that the water

can flow out easily.

Defrosting the freezer compartment

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to

defrost manually:

1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the

position

2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in

another freezer or in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted

completely. This can be made easier by placing

containers with lukewarm water in the freezer

compartment.

4. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to

lead the water outside:

insert the scraper into the

slot provided at the bottom

and let the water flow into

a container (see diagram).

5. Clean and dry the

freezer compartment

carefully before switching

the appliance on again.

6. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal

storage conditions have been restored, before placing

food in the freezer compartment.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,

pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the

instructions below.

Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw (B)

which is located at the

back of the lampcover, as

shown (see diagram).

Replace it with a similar

light bulb, the power of

which should not exceed

15W.
