Disconnect your appliance prior to
performing any maintenance op-
eration. Grasp the plug directly, in-
stead of pulling on the power cable.
Cleaning your appliance
We recommend that you clean and
disinfect your appliance regularly
for improved hygiene and to keep
your food completely safe: the re-
frigerator section should be cleaned
once a month and the freezer after
each time you defrost it.
Remove all the food from the freezer. Place it
in isothermic bags or wrap it in newspaper and
store it in a cool place.
Clean your appliance inside and out with a bi-
carbonate of soda solution (1 dessertspoon of
bicarbonate to 4 litres of water). Do not use
alcohol, scouring powder or detergents, which
could damage the surfaces.
Do not use a high-pressure steam
cleaner. The very hot steam could
damage the surfaces and the elec-
trical circuits; you would expose
yourself to a risk of electrocution.
Rinse with water, dry with a cloth.
Periodically check that the drain hole for the
defrosting water is not blocked and clean it
with a stick as shown in the Drawing.
Don't forget to clean the condenser from time
to time: this is at the back of the appliance
(see the section on "Description of your
appliance"). Use a dry paintbrush to do this or,
better yet, your vacuum cleaner.
Reconnect your appliance, and adjust the
refrigerator's thermostat if necessary, as
shown in the section on "Adjusting your refrig-
erator's temperature".
Wait 3 or 4 hours before placing the food back
in your appliance.
The vegetable compartment is fitted with a
filter for controlling the level of humidity for
optimum food preservation.
To clean this filter: remove the top of the com-
partment, remove the lid and then remove the
"K" filter and wash it under running water. The
sliding basket can be removed as follows: pull
the basket out to the stop, lift the front of the
basket and then pull it towards you
