the plastics used in this appliance. For this

reason it is recommended that the outer

casing of this appliance is only cleaned with

warm water with a little washing-up liquid

added.

After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to

the mains supply.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the

evaporator of the refrigerator compartment

every time the motor compressor stops,

during normal use. The defrost water drains

out through a trough into a special contain-

er at the back of the appliance, over the

motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the de-

frost water drain hole in the middle of the

refrigerator compartment channel to pre-

vent the water overflowing and dripping on-

to the food inside. Use the special cleaner

provided, which you will find already inser-

ted into the drain hole.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always

form around the top compartment.

Important! Defrost the freezer when the

frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5

mm.

To remove the frost, do these steps:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put it

in a cool place.

3. Open the door.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain

the maximum coldness and run the ap-

pliance for two or three hours using this

setting.

7. Reload the previously removed food in-

to the compartment.

Warning! Never use sharp metal tools

to scrape off frost from the evaporator

as you could damage it. Do not use a

mechanical device or any artificial

means to speed up the thawing

process other than those

recommended by the manufacturer. A

temperature rise of the frozen food

packs, during defrosting, may shorten

their safe storage life.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

•

disconnect the appliance from elec-

tricity supply

• remove all food

•

and clean the appliance and all

accessories

• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-

pleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask some-

body to check it once in a while to prevent

the food inside from spoiling in case of a

power failure.

What to do if…

Warning! Before troubleshooting,

disconnect the mains plug from the

mains socket.

Only a qualified electrician or compe-

tent person must do the troubleshoot-

ing that is not in this manual.
