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 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.
