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.

period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors
open.

refrigeration circuit beyond repair.

If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to
defrost manually:

ADJUSTMENT knob to the Super position (YELLOW

down even more.

another freezer or in a cool place.

completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment..

before switching the appliance on again.

storage conditions have been restored, before
