- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed
containers to store foods, in order to prevent spills which
could stain and cause unpleasant, difficult to remove odours.
- Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appli-
ance. Cean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in
warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is,
among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have
any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.
- DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents con-
taining ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.
- All removable parts should be taken out and soaked in
warm soapy water or detergent. Rinse and dry them thor-
oughly before putting them back in the appliance.
-
When the appliance is not used for a long time
, remember
to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leave the doors open
to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odors.
-
Replacing the light bulb.
The bulb for lighting the interior of
the refrigerator is located at the back of the thermostat box.
When replacing the lamp, unplug the appliance from the
electrical socket, unscrew the burned out lamp and replace
it with another with a wattage no higher than 15W (fig. 7).

This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is chan-
nelled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose
(Fig. 5). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make
it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically
check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located be-
hind the fruit and vegetable crisper, so that the water drains
properly.
