Maintenance and care
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, as well as 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 water
and soap or dishwashing liquid. Rinse and dry them
carefully.
• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be
removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner
set on medium power. The appliance must be switched
off and the plug must be pulled out before cleaning the
appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which
are odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator
and to prevent the formation of stains, food must always be
covered or sealed properly.
• If you want 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, pull
out the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions
below.
Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the
diagram.
Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range
indicated on the cover (10 W, 15 W or 25 W).

Replacing the l Odour filter
The filter should be replaced after approximately 6-8 months
from when it is activated. This period may vary depending
on the type of food that is stored. 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).
Chiller system
NO FROST
The No Frost system circulates cold air continuously to collect
humidity and prevent ice and frost formation. The system
maintains an optimal humidity level in the compartment,
preserving the original quality of the food, preventing the
food from sticking together and making defrosting a thing of
the past. ! Do not block the aeration cells by placing food or
containers in direct contact with the refrigerating back panel.
! Close bottles and wrap food tightly.
Using the refrigerator to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• Activate the SUPER COOL function to lower the temperature
quickly, for example, when you place a large number of new
food items inside a fridge and the internal temperature rises
slightly. This function quickly cools the groceries by temporarily
reducing the temperature until it reaches the ideal level.
• Place only cold or lukewarm foods in the compartment, never
hot foods (see Precautions and tips).
• Remember that cooked foods do not last longer than raw foods.
• Do not store liquids in open containers: they will increase the
level of humidity in the refrigerator and cause condensation to
form.
Using the freezer to its full potential
• Adjust the temperature using the display.
• To freeze (if the freezer is already operating):
- for small quantities which are less than those indicated on
the data plate, press the rapid freezing SUPER FREEZE button
(corresponding indicator light illuminates), insert the food and
close the door. The function is disabled automatically after
24 hours or when optimal temperatures have been reached
(indicator light goes out);
- for large quantities which are greater than the maximum load
indicated on the data plate, hold down the rapid freezing SUPER
FREEZE button until the corresponding indicator light begins
to flash. After 24 hours the indicator light stops flashing and
remains on constantly. Place the food inside the freezer and close
the door. After another 24 hours, the function will be disabled
automatically (indicator light goes out).
• Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that has already been
defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).
• Fresh food that needs to be frozen must not come into contact
with food that has already been defrosted.
• Do not place glass bottles which contain liquids, and which are
corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could
break.
• The maximum quantity of food that may be frozen daily is
indicated on the plate containing the technical properties
located on the bottom left side of the refrigerator compartment
(for example: Kg/24h: 4).
! Do not open the door during freezing.
! If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the freezer
door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer,
ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 9 -14 hours.
! To avoid blocking the air circulation inside the freezer, it is
advisable not to obstruct the ventilation holes with food or
containers.
