Maintenance and
cleaning
3.1 Cleaning the inside. Use a sponge or cloth
soaked in water with bicarbonate of soda to
clean the inside of the refrigerator to prevent
any smells from forming.
Never use a steam cleaner, solvents or
scouring powders.
3.2 Cleaning the outside. Never use a steam
cleaner to clean the displays.
It is a good idea to clean the grille at the back
once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
3.3 Cleaning the accessories. Do not put them
in the dishwasher. Clean them by hand with
the help of a sponge or cloth.
3.4 Changing the light bulb. If the light bulb
blows: switch off the refrigerator. Remove
the cover by pressing on the lug (3.4.1) and
removed the blown bulb (3.4.2). Replace it
with another with the same type of thread,
E14, 220-240V, 15/25W or as indicated on
the light fi tting.
3.5 Changing the carbon fi lter. Your refrigerator
may have a carbon fi lter to absorb any
strange smells from some types of food and
capture any microorganisms (fungus and
bacteria) circulating in the air.
The fi lter keeps its properties for a limited
time of 6 months. After this time it is
recommended that you replace it with a new
one. Its location varies depending on the
model.
To activate the fi lter: Press down on the tab
and remove the cover to access the fi lter
(3.5.1). Separate the used fi lter from the
cover (3.5.2). Remove the seals from the new
fi lter (3.5.3).
Press the BIOFILTER visor until you hear a
light click (3.5.4) and in a few seconds the
duration scale will start to colour. Put the fi lter
back into place.
Keep used and new fi lters out of the reach
of children; digesting large quantities can be
dangerous.
Do not wet the fi lter as it can lose its
properties.

Troubleshooting
4.1 Door open. If you leave the door open for
more than 1 minute, the , signal will come
on, an alarm will sound and the refrigerator
light will go off (4.1.1, 4.1.2). The alarm will
stop when the door is closed.
4.2 Power cut.
Open the refrigerator as few times as
possible.
4.3 Normal noises in the refrigerator.
Your refrigerator may make a number of quite
normal operating noises which should not
concern you.
• The refrigerant may make a gargling noise
as it passes through the circuits.
• The compressor may make a buzzing and/
or a slight knocking noise, above all when it
switches on.
• The dilation or contraction of the materials
used can make clicking or creaking noises.
• The air moved by the freezer fan can make
a small background noise.
Do not tamper with your refrigerator in
an attempt to repair it. Call for service.
