Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment
knobs on
(appliance off) 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.
The back of the appliance may collect dust which
can be 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.
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.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
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.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary
to defrost manually:
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the
position
.
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment.
4. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully
before switching the appliance on again.
5. Wait for approximately 2 hours, i.e. until the ideal
storage conditions have been restored, before
placing food in the freezer compartment.
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 (15W or
25W).
