3.6 Using the refrigerator
compartment
Arranging beverages
Arrange the beverages, making sure
they are sealed tight. This precaution
is necessary:
• to preserve the aroma and freshness of
the beverages;
• to avoid any contamination of
beverages with odours or tastes from
other beverages;
• to prevent the humidity level inside the
refrigerator from becoming too high,
which in some operating conditions (rise
in ambient temperature and humidity,
more frequent opening of the door)
might cause condensation to form on the
shelves.
3.7 Storage advice
• Always check the expiry date on the
food packaging.
• Remove perishable products from the
appliance if you are going away for a
long period.
• Changes in the environmental conditions
(temperature and humidity) and the
frequency with which the door is opened
can affect the operating temperature of
the refrigerator.
• Reduce the number of times that the
doors are opened and the length of time
they remain open to prevent the
compartments from heating up
excessively.
Always allow hot drinks to cool to
room temperature before putting
them in the refrigerator
compartment.
Use
29
EN
3.8 Noises during operation
The refrigerator compartment is cooled by
means of a compression system. In order to
maintain the preset temperature inside the
refrigerator compartment, the compressor
comes into operation in response to the
level of cooling required, and may operate
continuously if necessary. When the
compressor starts to function, it creates a
buzzing noise which generally diminishes in
intensity after a few minutes.
Another normal operating noise of the
appliance is a gurgling due to the coolant
flowing through the pipes in the circuit. This
noise is normal and does not indicate an
appliance malfunction. If it becomes too
loud, this may mean that there are other
causes. Checks must then be made to
ensure that:
• the refrigerator is properly levelled on the
floor and does not vibrate when the
compressor is in operation: if this is not
the case, adjust the feet supplied with the
appliance;
• Bottles and boxes are stable and not
touching each other: otherwise, the
vibration resulting from the compressor's
operation could cause a certain amount
of noise;
• Do not place the refrigerator in such a
way that it is in contact with furniture or
other household appliances.
3.9 What to do if...
The appliance does not work:
• Make sure that the appliance is plugged
in and that the main switch is turned on.
The compressor starts to function too often
or functions continuously:
• The room temperature is too high.
• The sliding doors are being opened too
often or for too long.
• The sliding doors do not seal shut when
closed.
• Check that the back of the refrigerator is
properly ventilated and that the
condenser is not too dirty.
Excessive ice or condensation has built up
inside the refrigerator compartment:
• The sliding doors are being opened too
often or for too long.
• Hot beverages have been placed inside
the refrigerator compartment.
• The thermostat is set at a too low
temperature.
The refrigerator compartment is not
sufficiently cold:
• The thermostat is set at a too high
temperature.
• The sliding doors are being opened too
often or for too long.
• The sliding doors do not seal shut when
closed.
• The room temperature is too high.

4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the appliance
A special antibacterial protection on the
appliance's interior walls prevents bacterial
growth and keeps them clean. They must
nevertheless be cleaned regularly in order
to keep them in good condition.
Cleaning the outside of the appliance
• The appliance may be cleaned
with water or alcohol-based liquid
detergents (e.g. window cleaning
products).
• Avoid aggressive detergents and
rough sponges to avoid damaging
the surfaces.
Cleaning the inside of the appliance
• Clean the interior with diluted liquid
detergent or with warm water with a little
vinegar added.
• Remove any ice thicker than 3-5 mm.
Do not use sharp objects or spray
products.
4.3 Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator compartment does not
require defrosting, as any ice which forms
on the refrigeration plate will melt when the
compressor is idle.
If ice thicker than 3-5 mm should form on
the inside walls of the refrigerator
compartment, turn off the appliance and
defrost it manually.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodising, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder
products, stain removers and metallic
sponges).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
Power voltage
Danger of electrocution
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from
the mains before cleaning.

properly, the appliance must not be located
too close to the wall. To prevent this, the
appliance comes complete with two plastic
spacers which are fitted on the metal casing
behind the appliance.
