Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours

which are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free
refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food

period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.
Holiday function

also be used to conserve make-up and beauty products).
The freezer temperature must be set to the minimum value
in order to preserve the food.
To enable the function:
set the REFRIGERATOR
OPERATION knob on
HOLIDAY (see diagram).
A double acoustic signal
informs you when it has
been enabled. A single
acoustic signal informs you
when it has been disabled.

from when it is activated. This period may vary depending on
