Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to

disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:

1. set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL Knob on OFF;

2. pull the plug out of the socket.

! If this procedure is not followed, the alarm may sound.

This alarm does not indicate a malfunction. To restore

normal operation, turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL

knob to the OFF position and then turn it back to the

desired value. To disconnect the appliance, follow point 1

and 2.

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.
