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.

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.
