Maintenance and
care Assistance
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for approximately
two seconds, until everything on the display switches
off apart from the red LED corresponding to the ON/
OFF button.
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 hold the ON/OFF
button down for more than two seconds. To disconnect
the appliance, follow points 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.
Defrosting the appliance
!
Follow the instructions below.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any
devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you
may damage the refrigeration circuit.
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.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper
provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is
necessary to defrost manually:
1. The day before defrosting, press the SUPER FREEZE
button (the yellow SUPER FREEZE indicator light
illuminates) to further cool the food.
2. The function is automatically disabled after 24 hours,
or it may be disabled at any moment by pressing the
SUPER FREEZE button again. Press and hold the ON/
OFF button for approximately two seconds, until
everything on the display switches off apart from the
red LED corresponding to the ON/OFF button.
3. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
4. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment.
5. Certain appliances are
fitted with the DRAIN
SYSTEM to lead the water
outside (
see diagram).
6. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully
before switching the appliance on again.
7. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have been restored, before placing
food in the freezer compartment.
