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 in the middle of the

refrigerator compartment channel to pre-

vent the water overflowing and dripping

onto the food inside. Use the special clean-

er provided, which you will find already in-

serted into the drain hole.

No defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment of this model, on

the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This

means that there is no buildup of frost when

it is in operation, neither on the internal

walls nor on the foods.

The absence of frost is due to the continuous

circulation of cold air inside the compart-

ment, driven by an automatically controlled

fan.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electrici-

ty supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost, if foreseen

4. Clean the appliance and all accesso-

ries.

5. Leave all doors open to prevent un-

pleasant smells.

If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody

to check it once in a while to prevent the

food inside from spoiling in case of a power

failure.

What to do if…

Caution! Before troubleshooting,

disconnect the power supply.

Only a qualified electrician or competent

person must do the troubleshooting that is

not in this manual.

Important! There are some sounds during

normal use (compressor, refrigerant

circulation).
