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

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 HOLIDAY (see diagram).

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).
