1. Operating Instructions

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 on

(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 speed up the defrosting process by using any devices or

tools other than the scraper provided, you may damage the

refrigeration circuit.

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.

WATER LEVEL

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. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before

switching the appliance on again.

5. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead

the water outside: let the water flow into a container ( see

diagram ).

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 by removing the cover as indicated in the

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

range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W).
