Switching off the appliance
To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. This will
result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature
display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display
will go off.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1.
Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.
2.
Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display
goes off (see above).
3.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
4.
Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.
Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liquide in the refrigeator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food so that air can circuiate freely round it.
Useful hints:
Meat
(all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above
the vegetable drawer(s).
For safety, store in this way only one or two days
at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc
: these should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese:
these should be placed in special airtight containers or
wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as pos-
sible.
Milk bootles:
these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle
rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in
the refrigerator.

Cleaning and Care
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories,
should be cleaned regularly.
Warning!
• The appliance should not be connected to the mains during cleaning.
Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and
remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit
breaker or fuse.
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumu-
late in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can
lead to the damage of plastic parts.
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Attention!
• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g.
– lemon juice or the juice from orange peels;
– butyric acid;
– cleansers which contain acetic acid.
Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.
• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
1.
Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food
in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.
2.
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off
or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm
water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
4.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.
Accumulation of dust at the conden-
ser increases energy consumption.
For this reason carefully clean the
condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year with a soft
brush or a vacuum cleaner.
5.
Check the water drain hole on the
rear wall of the fridge. Clear a
blocked drain hole with the aid of
the green peg in the pack of acces-
sories included with the appliance.
6.
After everything is dry place applian-
ce back into service.
