Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect
the appliance from the electricity supply.
It is not sufficient to set the FREEZER OPERATION knob on
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.
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.
Holiday function
To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary
to switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function
which allows it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator
compartment at approximately 12°C (which can 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
.
A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been
enabled. A single acoustic signal informs you when it has been
disabled.
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 (10W).
