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.
Optimization Energy Saving function
The
“Optimization Energy Saving”
function may be activated in
order to optimise energy consumption while maintaining the
cooling performance of the product. This function maximises the
energy saved. It is activated by setting the knobs to “I CARE”,
then pressing and holding the Super Freeze button for at least 3
seconds; the Super Freeze indicator light will begin to flash,
signalling the activation of this function.
The
“Optimization Energy Saving”
function may also be
deactivated by pressing the Super Freeze button again. The
corresponding indicator light will stop flashing, thereby signalling
that the original operating conditions have been restored.
In humid environments, when the
“Optimization Energy
Saving”
function is activated, slight condensation may form on
the door of the appliance; normal operating conditions are
restored when the function is deactivated.
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, 15 W or 25 W).

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact
on human health and the environment.
