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 and APPLIANCE ON/
OFF
Knob on Off
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
and APPLIANCE ON/OFF 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.
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.
Defrosting the appliance
!
Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to
defrost the appliance as these may damage the
refrigeration circuit beyond repair.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:
water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a
special discharge outlet
(
see diagram
) where the
heat produced by the
compressor causes it to
evaporate. It is necessary
to clean the discharge
hole regularly so that the
water can flow out easily.

Filter maintenance
Unhook the filters from the left side of the cover by
inserting the tip of a small screwdriver into the gaps
(see attached pictures).
Wash the filters regularly (every 12-18 months) under
running water, using a neutral detergent to remove
any stubborn build-up. Leave the filters to dry before
replacing them. If the filters cannot be removed, or if
they are difficult to remove, please contact the
Technical Assistance Service.
