MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
OF THE APPLICANCE
Clean the appliance occasionally with a cloth and a solution of warm water and neutral cleaning agents specifically for cleaning the inside of the refrigerator. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. To ensure the constant and correct flow of the defrosting water, regularly clean the inside of the drain situated in the back wall of the refrigerator compartment near the fruit and vegetable drawer using the utensil provided (see figure). Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning, take the plug out of the socket or disconnect the appliance from the power supply. REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB OR LED (depending on the model) Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before replacing the light bulb. Then follow the instructions based on the type of light bulb for your product. Replace the light bulb with one with the same features, available from the Technical Assistance Service and authorised sellers. Light type 1) To remove the light bulb, unscrew it in an anti-clockwise direction, as shown in the figure. Wait 5 minutes before reconnecting the appliance.
- traditional light bulb (max 25W) or
- LED light bulb (with the same features) only available from the Technical Assistance Service Light type 2) If the product has LED lights, as demonstrated in the figures below, contact the Technical Assistance Service if you need a replacement. LEDs last longer than traditional light bulbs, improve internal visibility and are environmentally friendly. STOP FROST SYSTEM (depending on the model) The STOP FROST SYSTEM (available depending on the model) facilitates the defrost procedure for the freezer compartment. The STOP FROST accessory (figure 1) is designed to collect some of the frost that forms in the freezer compartment and it is easy to remove and clean, therefore reducing the time needed to defrost the inside of the freezer compartment. To remove the frost on the STOP FROST accessory follow the cleaning procedure demonstrated below. PROCEDURE TO CLEAN THE STOP FROST ACCESSORY
- Open the freezer compartment door and remove the upper drawer (figure 2). Unfasten the STOP FROST accessory (figure 3) and remove it (figure 4), taking care not to drop it on the glass shelf below. Note: if the accessory is jammed or difficult to remove, do not keep trying to remove it, but proceed with the complete defrost of the freezer compartment. Close the door to the freezer compartment. Remove the frost on the accessory by rinsing it under running (not hot) water (figure 5).
- Let the accessory drip dry and dry the plastic parts with a soft cloth. Reinsert the accessory by placing the back part on the projections shown in figure 7-A, then refasten the handle of the accessory to the clasps above (figure 7-B). Reinsert the upper drawer and close the door to the freezer compartment. It is possible to clean the STOP FROST accessory on its own without completely defrosting the freezer compartment. Cleaning the STOP FROST accessory regularly helps to reduce the need to completely defrost the freezer compartment. Note: the product specifications, including volume and energy, are calculated without the STOP FROST accessory.
