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.
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.
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.
