Cleaning and Maintenance

Warning!
Do not try to clean the basic filter in a
dishwasher. The plastic on the basic
filter is not suitable for dishwashers
and is unable to withstand the high
temperatures involved in washing
programmes. It will deform and may
even break.
The purifying filter supplied with the
appliance (according to models) is to be
fitted by the user (See “Fitting the purifying
filter (double active”).
The purifying filter further purifies the air in
the room which passes through the
appliance.
When the purifying filter is fitted, the
appliance’s cooling capacity may drop
slightly. This is particularly the case when
the filter is saturated or damaged. It is,
therefore, recommended that you check
and change the filter at least once a year.
(These accessories are available for
purchase from the Manufacturer's Official
Technical Service and authorised
distributors). See “Description of
accessories”.
Fitting the purifying filter (double active)
•
Check that the purifying filter is fitted in
the positioner. If it is not, fit as shown on
Fig 32
Cleaning the appliance

For safety reasons, you should unplug
the appliance from the mains electricity
supply before cleaning.
•
The appliance can be cleaned with a
cloth or sponge, slightly warm water and
a mild detergent.
•
Never use hot water (more than 40ºC),

Do not clean the appliance with a water
hose or compressed air.
Cleaning and changing the
purifying filters

risk of falling.
All models are fitted with a basic filter

. The filter is accessed by pressing
the tab at the top and removing it from its
housing,
