Important! Take care of not to damage the

cooling system.

Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners

contain chemicals that can attack/damage

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 re-

frigerator compart-

ment every time the

motor compressor

stops, during normal

use. The defrost wa-

ter drains out

through a trough into

a special container at the back of the appli-

ance, over the motor compressor, where it

evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the de-

frost water drain hole (F) situated under the

salad drawers to prevent the water over-

flowing and dripping onto the food inside.

Use the special cleaner provided (P), which

you will find in the salad drawer.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always

form on the freezer shelves and

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 sev-

eral layers of newspaper and put it in a

cool place.

3. Leave the door open.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly and refit the plug.

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.

Cleaning the air channels

1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventila-

tion grid (2);

2. Clean the ventilation grid (2).

3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3),

checking that there is no water left from

the defrosting.

4. Clean the lower part of the appliance

with a vacuum cleaner.
