Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1. Hold the ON/OFF button down for more than two
seconds until OFF appears on both indicator displays
(refrigerator and freezer).
2. Pull the plug out of the socket.
! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound.
This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore
normal operation, hold the ON/OFF button down for
more than two seconds. To disconnect the appliance,
follow points 1 and 2 above.
Cleaning the appliance
• The external and internal parts and 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
soapy water or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them
carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust. This can
be removed by carefully using the hose of a vacuum
cleaner set on medium power. The appliance must be
switched off and the plug disconnected from the
electricity mains before it is cleaned.
Ever Fresh
• Use a clean dry cloth to clean the opening of the
vacuum system in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf. Do
not use water or solvents.
• The opening in the centre of the Ever Fresh shelf should
not come into contact with water or any other liquids.
• Wash and dry the containers before using them.
• Do not clean the lids in a dishwasher.
• Before closing the containers make sure that the edges
are clean. Traces of dirt may affect the sealing process
and consequently the length of time food may be
stored.
• If the knob on the cover needs to be cleaned, turn it
anticlockwise until it comes off and wash it using water
and neutral detergent. After drying it thoroughly, screw
it back on.
• If you wish to take the Ever Fresh shelf out and clean it,
you must first disconnect the tube at the back of the
shelf. Make sure it is reattached properly in order to
avoid blockages and system malfunctions. The Ever
Fresh shelf should not come into contact with water or
other liquids as these may damage the system.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odour
free materials. Food should be wrapped well and
containers closed properly in order to maintain this
hygiene. This will also prevent the formation of stains.
• If you wish to switch the appliance off for an extended
period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the
refrigerator compartment,
disconnect the plug from the
electricity mains.
Access the light bulb as shown
(see diagram) and replace it with
a similar light bulb, the power of
which should not exceed 10 W.
Changing the odour filter
The filter should be replaced approximately 6-8 months
after it has been activated. This period may vary
depending on the type of food stored inside the
refrigerator. For information on where a replacement filter
may be purchased, contact Assistance (see Assistance).
To replace the filter, follow the instructions (see diagrams
A and B).
