Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

Defrosting the freezer compartment

 

GB

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

1.Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob on OFF

2.Pull the mains plug out of the socket.

There in no need to defrost the freezer since the “no- frost cooling system” prevents the formation of frost and ice on the walls.

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 (15W).

The interior light will flash if the refrigerator door is left open for more than two minutes. This is normal, and is a warning to close the refrigerator door.

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator defrosts automatically: defrost water is ducted out of the back of the appliance through a special outlet hole (see diagram) to an external container. Heat produced by the compressor causes the water to evaporate from the container.

It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily. Do not use any tools that may damage the refrigerator.
