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 (1) in order to preserve the food. To
enable the function:
set the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob on
(
see
diagram).
A double acoustic signal informs
you when it has been enabled. A
single acoustic signal informs you
when it has been disabled.
Odour filter
Some models are fitted with a new odour filter with active
carbons, which ensures better air quality inside the
refrigerator.
1. The filter is located on the
bottom right-hand side, inside the
ventilation opening. To activate it,
remove the sticker from the
opening (
see diagram).
2. The filter should be replaced after approximately 6-8
months from when it is activated. This period may vary
depending on the type of food that is stored. For
information on where a replacement filter may be
purchased, contact Assistance (
see Assistance). To
replace the filter, follow the instructions (
see diagrams
A and B).
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 which may vary according to the model
of the appliance.
Access the light bulb as shown
(
see diagram) and replace it with
a similar light bulb, the power of
which should not exceed 10 W.
