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.

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

the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.

Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the

Filter maintenance

Unhook the filters from the left side of the cover by inserting the tip

of a small screwdriver into the gaps (see attached pictures).

Wash the filters regularly (every 12-18 months) under running

water, using a neutral detergent to remove any stubborn build-up.

Leave the filters to dry before replacing them. If the filters cannot be

removed, or if they are difficult to remove, please contact the

Technical Assistance Service.
