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) since it will not 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 baking 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 odors
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic
materials which are odor free. In order to maintain an
odor 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
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 not,
therefore, necessary to
defrost the refrigerator
manually. It is, however,
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
outlet. 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 (10 W).
