Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

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

1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately

two seconds, until everything on the display switches
off apart from the red LED corresponding to the ON/
OFF button.

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 hold the ON/OFF
button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect
the appliance, follow points 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.
