Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment
knobs on
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical
contact.
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.
Defrosting the appliance
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 not,
therefore, necessary to
defrost the refrigerator
manually. It is, however,
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 (15W or 25W).
