Maintenance and
cleaning
3.1 Cleaning the inside. Use a sponge or
cloth soaked in water with bicarbonate of
soda to clean the inside of the freezer to
prevent any smells from forming.
Never use a steam cleaner, solvents or
scouring powders.
3.2 Cleaning the outside. Never use a steam
cleaner to clean the displays.
It is recommended to clean the rear grille with
a vacuum cleaner once a year. If this area is
dirty it reduces the refrigerator’s performance
and increases its energy consumption.
3.3 Cleaning the accessories. Do not put
them in the dishwasher. Clean them by
hand with the help of a sponge or cloth.
Keep used and new fi lters out of
the reach of children; digesting large
quantities can be dangerous.

time to remove the bottle to prevent it from

2.4 Arranging food in your freezer. Food
must be stored in the right area to make
sure that it is kept correctly (2.4.1):
1. Medium-sized containers
2. Ice
cream
3. Ice (optional feature)
4. Medium-sized containers
5. Medium-sized containers
6. Large-sized containers
7. Medium-sized containers
Eutectic containers (Depending on
the model): This appliance is supplied
with eutectic containers (2.4.2) designed
to increase autonomous operation
during power failures and reduce energy
consumption. The containers should
preferably be placed in the top part of the
appliance.
2.5 ICE MAKER. This is an accessory in your
freezer that makes up to 24 ice cubes. If
your freezer has an Ice Maker, take out the
ice drawer (2.5.1). Fill the ice tray without
going over the level (2.5.2). Replace the ice
drawer being careful not to spill the water
(2.5.3).
After two hours the ice cubes will be ready
to use. Turn both knobs several times until
the ice cubes fall out ((2.5.4, 2.5.5). Open
the lower drawer to take them out (2.5.6).
2.6 Switching the freezer off. Press for 3
seconds until no temperature appears on
the display (2.6.1) or turn the control to
the off setting (2.6.2, 2.6.3). The On light
models will switch off.
2.7 Recommendations for use.
• Do not open the doors for longer than
necessary or put hot food into the
freezer. This will ensure your freezer
works more effi ciently and will avoid
increased energy consumption.
• If you have a NO FROST freezer, do
not block the ventilation grills and leave
some space between the food so the
air can move fl ow freely.
• Do not put bottles containing fi zzy
drinks or glass bottles containing liquid
in the freezer, because they may burst.
• Store food in sealed containers to
prevent it from drying out.
• Do not eat excessively cold ice creams
or food because they may burn your
mouth.
• To obtain the features advertised, the
baskets (5), the small drawers (4) and
the twist ice dispenser (3) must be
removed from the appliance. No other
components should be removed. This
will help you make the most of the
volume of your freezer.
