Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
Simply using the ADJUSTMENT button until all indicator
lights are switched off (appliance switched off) is not
enough to eliminate all electrical contact.

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.
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.

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 by removing the cover as indicated
in the diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within
the power range indicated on the cover (10W or 15W).
