Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on 

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, it is sufficient to set the FREEZER
OPERATION knob on the desired value. To disconnect
the appliance, follow point 1 and 2.

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.

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 15°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.

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 diagram.
Replace it with a similar
light bulb within the

power range indicated on the cover (10 W).

!

 The buzzer  will sound and the interior light will flash if

the refrigerator door is  left open for more than 2
minutes.
