Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the appliance
❏ For safety reasons, you should unplug the
appliance from the mains electricity supply
before cleaning.
❏ The appliance can be cleaned with a cloth
or sponge, slightly warm water and a mild
detergent.
❏ Never use hot water (more than 40ºC),
bleach, petrol, acid, scouring pads, brushes
or strong detergents. Prevent water from
entering the appliance.
❏ Do not clean the appliance with a water
hose or compressed air.
Cleaning and changing the purifying
filters
Press the side tabs, (Fig. 28, 1.), on the front
flap of the appliance and pull it open (it is not
necessary to remove it), (Fig. 28, 2.). The flap
is fitted with a stop and can be opened up to
this point without risk of falling.
All models are fitted with a basic filter which
needs to be cleaned regularly, Fig. 29. The
filter is accessed by pressing the tab at the top
and removing it from its housing, Fig. 30. The
filter is cleaned under a cold tap, dried and
replaced.

Warning!
Do not try to clean the basic filter in a
dishwasher. The plastic on the basic filter
is not suitable for dishwashers and is
unable to withstand the high temperatures
involved in washing programmes. It will
deform and may even break.
The purifying filter supplied with the appliance
(according to models) is to be fitted by the
user (See “Fitting the purifying filter (double
active”).
The purifying filter further purifies the air in the
room which passes through the appliance.
When the purifying filter is fitted, the
appliance’s cooling capacity may drop slightly.
This is particularly the case when the filter is
saturated or damaged. It is, therefore,
recommended that you check and change the
filter at least once a year.
(These accessories are available for purchase
from the Manufacturer's Official Technical
Service and authorised distributors). See
“Description of accessories”.
Fitting the purifying filter (double
active)
• Check that the purifying filter is fitted in the
positioner. If it is not, fit as shown on Fig 31
