Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

GB
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1. (simultaneously press) press at the same time the
'ON' and 'I care' button. OFF appears on both
indicator displays (refrigerator and freezer).
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, hold the ON button down. To
disconnect the appliance, follow points 1 and 2 above.

Cleaning the appliance

• The external and internal parts and 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
soapy water or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry
them carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust. This can
be removed by carefully using the hose of a vacuum
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must
be switched off and the plug disconnected from the
electricity mains before it is cleaned.

Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odour
free materials. Food should be wrapped well and
containers closed properly in order to maintain this
hygiene. This will also prevent the formation of
stains.
• If you wish to switch the appliance off for an
extended period of time, clean the inside and leave
the doors open.
