Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment
knobs on (appliance off) to eliminate all electrical
contact.
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
It is advisable now and then to remove the frost which
forms on the evaporator.
Take care to not use sharp objects for this purpose
since they could pierce the refrigeration circuit and
permanently damage the appliance.
Proper cleaning is very important in order to
guarantee that the refrigerator operates efficiently and
does not consume excess energy needlessly.
To defrost the evaporator completely, turn the
thermostat knob on . The water from the frost will
collect in the special tray.
When finished, dry the tray and put it back in place.
To start the appliance again, turn the thermostat knob
to the appropriate setting.
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 (15W or
25W).
