CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Periodically clean air vents and the condenser at the rear of
the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or a brush.
• Clean the outside using a soft cloth.
Prolonged disuse
1. Empty the refrigerator.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
3. Defrost and clean the interior.
4. In the event of prolonged disuse, leave the door open to
prevent the formation of mould, odours and oxidation.
5. Clean the appliance.
• Clean the inside of the low temperature compartment (where
fitted) when defrosting.
• Periodically clean the inside of the refrigerator compartment
with a sponge dampened in warm water and/or neutral
detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive
products.
• Clean the outside with a soft damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive products, scourers, stain-removers (e.g.
acetone, trichloroethylene) or vinegar.
Replacing bulbs:
When replacing the bulb, proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance from the mains
• Squeeze the tabs on the sides of the lamp cover and remove it.
• Replace the LED light with new one.
• Put the lamp cover back on and wait 5 minutes before plugging
the appliance back into the mains.
INSTALLATION
• Install the appliance away from heat sources. Installation in a
hot environment, direct exposure to the sun or installation
near heat sources (heaters, radiators, cookers) will increase
power consumption and should therefore be avoided.
• If this is not possible, the following minimum distances must
be respected:
• 30 cm from coal or paraffin stoves;
• 3 cm from electric and/or gas stoves.
• Fit the spacers (if supplied) on the rear of the condenser
positioned at the back of the appliance (see figure).
• To optimize appliance efficiency, leave a 5 cm gap above the
appliance and make sure that adjacent kitchen units are
sufficiently distanced to allow air circulation.
• Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated place, and ensure
it is level, using the front adjustment feet if necessary.
• Clean the interior.
• Fit the accessories.
Disconnecting the appliance
• It must be possible to disconnect the appliance by unplugging
it or by means of a two-pole switch fitted upline of the socket.
