Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the

appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on

2. pull the plug out of the socket

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.

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 by removing the cover as indicated in the

diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range

indicated on the cover.

Precautions and tips

! The appliance was designed and manufactured in compliance with

international safety standards. The following warnings are provided

for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

This appliance complies with the following Community Directives:

- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments;

-89/336/EEC of 03.05.89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and

- 2002/96/CE.

General safety

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home

and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• The appliance must be used to store and freeze food products

by adults only and according to the instructions in this manual.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered

areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed

to rain and storms.

• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or moist

hands and feet.

• Do not touch the internal cooling elements: this could cause skin

abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the

mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

• Before cleaning and maintenance, always switch off the appliance

and disconnect it from the electrical supply. It is not sufficient to

set the temperature adjustment knobs on

eliminate all electrical contact.

• In the case of a malfunction, under no circumstances should you

attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by

inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning

of the appliance.

• Do not use any sharp or pointed utensils or electrical equipment

- other than the type recommended by the manufacturer - inside

the frozen food storage compartments.

• Do not put ice cubes taken directly from the freezer into your

mouth.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or lack of experience

and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person

responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Keep packaging material out of the reach of children! It can

become a choking or suffocation hazard.

Disposal

• Observe local environmental standards when disposing

packaging material for recycling purposes.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and

Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household

electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal

unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be

collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and

recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on

human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled

bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that

when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for

information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room. Ensure

that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not place it near

heat sources.

• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening

the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.

• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must circulate

freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation is impeded,

the compressor will work continuously.

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal

temperature will increase and force the compressor to work harder

and will consume more energy.

• Defrost the appliance if ice forms ( see Maintenance ). A thick layer

of ice makes cold transference to food products more difficult

and results in increased energy consumption.
