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 bring the FREEZER OPERATION knob

setting to 

 (off) and turn the appliance on again. 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 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).

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

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.
