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

FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/

OFF Knob

on Off

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 and APPLIANCE ON/OFF 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.

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. One day before enabling the SUPER FREEZE

function in the 24-hour mode; it helps give the food

a healthy extra "cold shock". After 24 hours, the

freezing function is automatically disabled but you

can disable it yourself.

2. Turn the appliance off by turning the

FREEZER

OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF

knob.

this operation switches off the whole appliance

(including the fridge compartment).

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: insert the

scraper into the slot

provided at the bottom

and let the water flow

into a container (see

diagram).

6. Clean and dry the

freezer compartment

carefully before switching the appliance on again.

! Remember that the motor will not start immediately,

but rather after approximately 8 minutes.

7. 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 (A)

by unscrewing the fixing

screw (B) which is

located at the back of

the lampcover, as shown

(see diagram). Replace

it with a similar light

bulb, the power of which

should not exceed 15W.
