soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them carefully.

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.

of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
I Care function
The I Care function can be enabled to optimise energy
consumption. Press and hold down the ACTIVE OXYGEN and
REFRIGERATOR OPERATION buttons simultaneously for at least
6 seconds to enable this function.
On enabling the function, 4 indicator lights will go on for 2 seconds:
ACTIVE OXYGEN light, SUPER FREEZE light and two temperature
lights - one for the refrigerator and one for the freezer.
After 5 seconds the interface will enter the energy saving mode
and the indicator lights will go off. The interface stays off even
when the door is opened. Just press any button to switch it on
again. Press the adjustment buttons to change the temperature.
Consumption will be optimised 48h after the function was
enabled. To disable the I Care function, switch off the product
(see description). The product can be switched on again for
normal operation.
In humid environments, when the I Care function is enabled, slight
condensation may form on the doors; normal operating conditions
are restored when the function is disabled.
