During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply:
1. set the FREEZER OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/
OFF 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

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.
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.
Defrosting the appliance
Follow the instructions below.
Do not speed up the defrosting process by using any
devices or tools other than the scraper provided, you
may damage the refrigeration circuit.
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.
Remove frost regularly using the special scraper
provided. If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is
necessary to defrost manually:
1. One day before enabling the SUPER FREEZE
function in the 24-hour mode; it helps give the food
a healthy extra "cold shock". After 24 hours, the
freezing function is automatically disabled but you
can disable it yourself.
2. Turn the appliance off by turning the FREEZER
OPERATION and APPLIANCE ON/OFF knob.
! this operation switches off the whole appliance
(including the fridge compartment).
3. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
4. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment.
carefully before switching the appliance on again.

storage conditions have been restored, before
placing food in the freezer compartment.
