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.

• 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.

• 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.

! 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.

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.

Remove frost regularly using the special scraper

provided. 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.

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.

To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment,

pull out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the

instructions below.

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 ).

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.
