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.

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).
