Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply: Simply using the ADJUSTMENT button until all indicator lights are switched off (appliance switched off) is not enough to eliminate all electrical contact.
Defrosting the appliance | GB |
|
!Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair.
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.
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.
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate.
It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water can flow out easily.
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 or 15W).
