Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to

disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment

knobs on

(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical

contact.

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.

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

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is

necessary to defrost manually:

1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the

position

2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them

in another freezer or in a cool place.

3. 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.

4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully

before switching the appliance on again.

5. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal

storage conditions have been restored, before

placing food in the freezer compartment.

Replacing the light

bulb

To replace the light

bulb in the refrigerator

compartment, pull out

the plug from the

electrical socket. Follow

the instructions below.

Access the light bulb

by removing the cover

as indicated in the diagram.

Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power

range indicated on the cover (15W or 25W).

TEMPERATURE* Indicator light: to identify the

coldest area in the refrigerator.

1. Check that OK appears clearly on the indicator

light (

see diagram

2. If the word “OK” does not appear it means that

the temperature is too high: adjust the

REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher

(colder) position and wait approximately 10 hours

until the temperature has stabilised.

3. Check the indicator light again: if necessary,

readjust it following the initial process. If large

quantities of food have been added or if the

refrigerator door has been opened frequently, it is

normal for the indicator not to show OK. Wait at

least 10 hours before adjusting the

REFRIGERATOR OPERATION knob to a higher

setting.
