defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten (within 24
hours).

with food that has already been defrosted.

corked or hermetically sealed in the freezer because they could
break.

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 FREEZER OPERATION knob 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.

• 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.

Holiday function

To minimise energy usage when on holiday, it is not necessary to
switch the appliance off. The appliance has a function which allows
it to maintain the temperature of the refrigerator compartment at
approximately 15°C (which can also be used to conserve make-up
and beauty products). 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

A double acoustic signal informs you when it has been enabled. A
