Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

Duringcleaningandmaintenanceitisnecessarytodisconnect

theappliancefromtheelectricitysupply:

1.PresstheON/OFFbuttontoswitchofftheappliance.

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,

holdtheON/OFF button downformorethan two seconds.To

disconnecttheappliance,followpoints1and2above.

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

• 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

Defrosting the refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is

ductedtothebackoftheappliancebyaspecialdischargeoutlet

(seediagram)wheretheheatproducedbythecompressorcauses

ittoevaporate.Itisnecessarytocleanthedischargeholeregularly

so that the water can flow out easily.

Replacing the light bulb *

Toreplacethelightbulbintherefrigeratorcompartment,pullout

theplugfromtheelectricalsocket.Followtheinstructionsbelow.

Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the
