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).
