Cleaning and Maintenance
Fig. 20
These models also come with a purifying filter
(double active) to be fitted by the user (See
“Fitting the purifying filter”).
The purifying filter further purifies the air in the
room which passes through the appliance.
When the purifying filter is fitted, the appliance’s
cooling capacity may drop slightly. This is
particularly the case when the filter is saturated
or worn. It is, therefore, recommended that you
check and change the filter at least once a year
or when the “change filter” symbol is
displayed. These accessories are available for
purchase from the Manufacturer's Official
Technical Service and authorised distributors
(See “Description of accessories”).
Press the "+" and the "–" key at the same time
to make the symbol disappear from the
screen after changing the filter. The symbol
disappears from the screen and the filter is
operational again.
Fitting the purifying filter (double
active):
• Check that the purifying filter is fitted in the
positioner. If it is not, fit as shown on
Fig 21
.
Place the dark part of the filter in contact with
the positioner.

Cleaning the appliance
❏
For safety reasons, you should unplug the
appliance from the mains electricity supply
before cleaning.
❏
The appliance can be cleaned with a cloth
or sponge, slightly warm water and a mild
detergent.
❏
Never use hot water (more than 40ºC),
bleach, petrol, acid, scouring pads, brushes
or strong detergents. Prevent water from
entering the appliance.
❏
Do not clean the appliance with a water
hose or compressed air.
Cleaning and changing the purifying
filters
To change the purifying filter, it is first
necessary to open the front flap on the
appliance (it is not necessary to remove it). To
do this, press the upper clip inside the door,
Fig 18
, and pull the flap. The flap can be
opened up to the safety stop without risk of
falling.
Warning!
Do not try to clean the basic filter in a
dishwasher. The plastic on the basic filter
is not suitable for dishwashers and is
unable to withstand the high temperatures
involved in washing programmes. It will
deform and may even break.
