Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

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.

period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
Holiday function
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary
to switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function
which allows it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment at approximately 12°C (which can also be used
to conserve make-up and beauty products). The freezer
temperature must be set to the minimum value in order to
preserve the food.
To enable the function:
set the REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob on
A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been
enabled. A single acoustic signal informs you when it has been
disabled.
Optimization Energy Saving function
The ìOptimization Energy Savingî function may be activated
in order to optimise energy consumption while maintaining the
cooling performance of the product. This function maximises
the energy saved. It is activated by setting the knobs to "I
CARE", then pressing and holding the Super Freeze button for
at least 3 seconds; the Super Freeze indicator light will begin to
flash, signalling the activation of this function.
The ìOptimization Energy Savingî function may also be
deactivated by pressing the Super Freeze button again.
The corresponding indicator light will stop flashing, thereby
signalling that the original operating conditions have been
restored.
In humid environments, when the ìOptimization Energy
Savingî function is activated, slight condensation may form
on the door of the appliance; normal operating conditions are
restored when the function is deactivated.
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
