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.
Replacing the l Odour filter
The filter should be replaced after approximately 6-8
months from when it is activated. This period may vary
depending on the type of food that is stored. For
information on where a replacement filter may be
purchased, contact Assistance ( see Assistance ). To
replace the filter, follow the instructions ( see diagrams
A and B ).
Holiday function
If you are going on holiday, you do not have to switch
the appliance off; it features a low-energy function
which optimises the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment to suit the products stored inside it (you
may, for example, wish to protect cosmetics and
beauty products from the heat). 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, 15W
or 25W).
