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 TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob on
2. pull the plug out of the socket
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 use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the
appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond
repair.
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. After 24 hours set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL knob on ,
which will switch the refrigerator off.
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: let the water flow into a container (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.
