Maintenance and
cleaning
3.1 Interior cleaning. To clean the interior, use
a sponge or cloth soaked in water with
bicarbonate in order to prevent odours
developing.
In no case use steam cleaning machines,
solvents, or abrasive detergents.
3.2 Exterior cleaning. Do not clean the screens
with a steam cleaning machine.
It is advisable to clean the back vent once a
year with a vacuum cleaner.
3.3 Cleaning the accessories. Accessories
are not suitable for automatic dishwashers.
Clean them by hand with a sponge or cloth.
3.4 Changing the lamp. If the lamp fails: unplug
the refrigerator. Press the fl ap to remove the
cover (3.4.1, 3.4.3) and take out the blown
lamp (3.4.2, 3.4.4). Replace it by another
lamp with the same type of thread, E14, 220-
240V, 15/25W or as indicated on the light
fi tting.
3.5 Changing the carbon fi lter. The refrigerator
may incorporate a carbon fi lter that absorbs
the odours of certain foods and retains
microorganisms (fungus and bacteria)
circulating in the air.
The fi lter keeps its properties for 6 months.
After that time, it is recommended to replace it.
Its location varies based on model.
To activate the fi lter: Press the tab and
remove the cover to access the fi lter (3.5.1,
3.5.3). Separate the fi lter from the tab (3.5.2,
3.5.4) and remove the seals (3.5.5).
Press the BIOFILTER viewer until hearing
a click (3.5.6) and in a few seconds the
duration scale will become coloured. Place
the new fi lter in the original location.
Keep the old fi lters and the replacements
out of the reach of children: Ingesting a
large quantity could be dangerous.
Don't get the fi lter wet, as it will lose it
properties.
3.6 S.P.A. salus per aquam (optional)
Your refrigerator may incorporate the S.P.A.
accessory which maintains a constant level
of humidity in the vegetable compartment,
preventing drying.
It is located on the spacer seal of the
vegetable compartment (3.6.1). It consists
of a tank with a pouring vessel and a fi ll level
indicator. When the S.P.A. needs fi lling with
water, the level will drop and be hidden. Take
out the vessel (3.6.2) and pour in a measure
(3.6.3). The level may take some time to rise.
The fi lter should be changed every 2 years
(3.6.4).
