2.7  Recommendations for use.

•   More effi cient energy consumption is 

achieved when the drawers and shelves 

are in the same position in which the 

appliance is delivered.

•   Keep the fan switched off for greater 

energy savings (2.7.1).

•   Do not open the doors for longer than 

necessary. This will allow your refrigerator 

to work more effi ciently and prevent any 

increase in energy consumption. 

•   Store food in sealed containers to prevent 

it from drying out.

Maintenance and 

cleaning

3.1  Cleaning the inside. 

Use a sponge or cloth 

soaked in water with bicarbonate of soda to 

clean the inside of the refrigerator to prevent 

any smells from forming.

Never use a steam cleaner, solvents or 

scouring powders.

3.2  Cleaning the outside.

Never use a steam 

cleaner to clean the displays.

It is a good idea to clean the grille at the back 

once a year with a vacuum cleaner.

3.3  Cleaning the accessories.

 Do not put them 

in the dishwasher. Clean them by hand with 

the help of a sponge or cloth.

3.4  Changing the light bulb.

 If the light bulb 

blows: switch off the refrigerator. Remove 

the cover by pressing on the lug (3.4.1) and 

removed the blown bulb (3.4.2). Replace it 

with another with the same type of thread, 

E14, 220-240V, 15/25W or as indicated on 

the light fi tting.

3.5  Changing the carbon fi lter.

 Your refrigerator 

may have a carbon fi lter to absorb any 

strange smells from some types of food and 

capture any microorganisms (fungus and 

bacteria) circulating in the air.

The fi lter keeps its properties for a limited 

time of 6 months. After this time it is 

recommended that you replace it with a new 

one. Its location varies depending on the 

model. 

To activate the fi lter: Press down on the tab 

and remove the cover to access the fi lter 

(3.5.1). Separate the used fi lter from the 

cover (3.5.2). Remove the seals from the new 

fi lter (3.5.3).

Press the BIOFILTER visor until you hear a 

light click (3.5.4) and in a few seconds the 

duration scale will start to colour. Put the fi lter 

back into place. 

Keep used and new fi lters out of the reach 

of children;

 digesting large quantities can be 

dangerous.

Do not wet the fi lter 

as it can lose its 

properties.

Troubleshooting

4.1  Door open. 

If you leave the door open for 

more than 1 minute, the 

, signal will come 

on, an alarm will sound and the refrigerator 

light will go off (4.1.1, 4.1.2). The alarm will 

stop when the door is closed.

4.2  Power cut.

Open the refrigerator as few times as 

possible.

4.3  Normal noises in the refrigerator. 

Your refrigerator may make a number of quite 

normal operating noises which should not 

concern you.

• The refrigerant may make a gargling noise 

as it passes through the circuits.

• The compressor may make a buzzing and/

or a slight knocking noise, above all when it 

switches on.

• The dilation or contraction of the materials 

used can make clicking or creaking noises.

• The air moved by the freezer fan can make 

a small background noise.

Do not tamper with your refrigerator in 

an attempt to repair it. 

Call for service.
