Warning! Refer to Safety

chapters.

General warnings

Caution! Unplug the appliance

before carrying out any

maintenance operation.

This appliance contains

hydrocarbons in its cooling unit;

maintenance and recharging

must therefore only be carried

out by authorized technicians.

The accessories and parts of the

appliance are not suitable for

washing in a dishwasher.

Periodic cleaning

Caution! Do not pull, move or

damage any pipes and/or

cables inside the appliance.

Caution! Do not damage the

cooling system.

The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:

1. Clean the inside and accessories with

lukewarm water and some neutral soap.

2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe

them clean to ensure they are clean and

free from debris.

3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and

the compressor at the back of the

appliance with a brush.

This will improve the performance of the

appliance and save electricity

consumption.

Defrosting the freezer

A certain amount of frost will

always form on the freezer

shelves and around the top

compartment.

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. 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

appliance for two or three hours using

this setting.

7. Reload the previously removed food

into the compartment.

Caution! 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.
