! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
! To maximise space inside the freezer, all drawers can be
removed from their positions and the food placed directly on the
racks/glass shelves supplied [where present].
Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect
the appliance from the electricity supply:
1.Press the ON/OFF button to switch off the appliance.
2.Pull the plug out of the socket.
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound. This alarm
does not indicate a malfunction. To restore normal operation,
hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two seconds. To
disconnect the appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.
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 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.
The day before defrosting, press the SUPER FREEZE
button to further cool the food. The function is automatically
disabled after 24 hours, or it may be disabled at any moment
by pressing the SUPER FREEZE button again. Press the ON/
OFF button to switch off the appliance.
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

in the freezer compartment.
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before
switching the appliance on again.

To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out
the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.

indicated on the cover.
