• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove all the food and leave the doors open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This
will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours.
• If the appliance has an automatic ice-maker:
1. Shut off the water supply to the appliance.
2. Empty the ice bucket.
Power failure
In case of power failures of up to 24 hours, keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored
food will stay cold as long as possible.
In case of power cut exceeding 24 hours, remove the food from the appliance and store in another
suitable appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used
Periodically clean the appliance with a cloth and a
solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent
specific for refrigerator interiors.
• Never use detergents or abrasives.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
• Clean the condenser using a vacuum cleaner,
remove the front kickplate (see installation
handbook).
• The buttons and control panel display (located
on the freezer door on some models) must be
cleaned with a dry cloth; do not use alcohol or
alcohol-derived substances.
• The refrigerant system pipes are located near
the defrost pan and can become very hot.
Periodically clean them with a vacuum cleaner.
Replacing light bulbs
Attention
• Always disconnect the refrigerator from the
power supply before replacing any light bulbs.
• Before replacing the light bulb, remove the light
guard that may be present. This will have to be
put back after replacing the light bulb.

bayonet type mount.

standard screw type mount.
Replace the lamp with one of the same type,
available from the After-sales Service or from
