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.
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).
