Maintenance and

cleaning

• Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,

always disconnect the appliance from the power

supply.

• Periodically clean the appliance with a cloth and a

solution of lukewarm water and neutral detergent

specific for refrigerator interiors.

• Never use detergents or abrasives. Never clean the

refrigerator parts with flammable liquids. The fumes

can cause fires or explosions.

• Clean the outside of the appliance and the door

seals with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

• Do not use steam cleaners.

• Clean the condenser using a vacuum cleaner,

remove the front kickplate (see installation

handbook).

• The buttons and control panel display (located on

the freezer door on some models) must be cleaned

with a dry cloth; do not use alcohol or alcohol-

derived substances.

• The refrigerant system pipes are located near the

defrost pan and can become very hot. Periodically

clean them with a vacuum cleaner.

Replacing light bulbs

Attention
• Always disconnect the refrigerator from the power

supply before replacing any light bulbs.

• Before replacing the light bulb, remove the light

guard that may be present. This will have to be put

back after replacing the light bulb.

• The refrigerator accepts light

bulbs with a bayonet type

mount. These do not need

unscrewing/screwing when

replacing.

• The ice/water dispenser light

bulb has a standard screw type

mount and therefore needs to

be screwed in place.

Replace the lamp with one of the same type, available

from the After-sales Service or from authorised

dealers.
