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
0
(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.
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 door
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.
Once the defrosting process has finished (which
should be done with the door closed), the appliance
will automatically turn back on center of the thermostat
knob (Fig.A).
The defrost water will be channeled through the
defrost water tray into (B) a special compartment
located at the rear side of the meat and fish bin.
Defrosting takes 4-6 hours on average. When
defrosting is completed, the plug under the meat and
fish bin should be removed, the defrost water must be
channeled into a 4-5 lt. cup and the plug must be
mounted again (Fig.B). To clean the appliance
thoroughly, this bin must be removed, washed and
dried.
Once the defrosting process has finished (which
should be done with the door closed), the appliance
will automatically turn back on.

IMPORTANT:
When defrosting, remove the frozen
food, wrap in newspaper and keep in a cool place.
Since the rise in temperature will shorten the storage
life of the food, it should be used as soon as possible.
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.
