Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1. Hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two
seconds until OFF appears on both indicator displays
(refrigerator and freezer).
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, hold the ON/OFF button down for
more than two seconds. To disconnect the appliance,
follow points 1 and 2 above.
Cleaning the appliance
• The external and internal parts and 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
soapy water or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry
them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust. This can
be removed by carefully using the hose of a vacuum
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must
be switched off and the plug disconnected from the
electricity mains before it is cleaned.
Ever Fresh
• Use a clean dry cloth to clean the opening of the
vacuum system in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf.
Do not use water or solvents.
• The opening in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf
should not come into contact with water or any other
liquids.
• Wash and dry the containers before using them.
• Do not clean the lids in a dishwasher.
• Before closing the containers make sure that the
edges are clean. Traces of dirt may affect the sealing
process and consequently the length of time food
may be stored.
• If the knob on the cover needs to be cleaned, turn it
anticlockwise until it comes off and wash it using
water and neutral detergent. After drying it thoroughly,
screw it back on.
• If you wish to take the Ever Fresh shelf out and clean
it, you must first disconnect the tube at the back of
the shelf. Make sure it is reattached properly in order
to avoid blockages and system malfunctions. The
Ever Fresh shelf should not come into contact with
water or other liquids as these may damage the
system.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odour
free materials. Food should be wrapped well and
containers closed properly in order to maintain this
hygiene. This will also prevent the formation of stains.
• If you wish to switch the appliance off for an extended
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the
refrigerator compartment,
disconnect the plug from the
electricity mains.
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.
Changing the odour filter
The filter should be replaced approximately 6-8 months
after it has been activated. This period may vary
depending on the type of food stored inside the
refrigerator. 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).
