7. Reload the previously removed food

into 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.

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

container at the back of the appliance, over

the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the

defrost water drain hole in the middle of the

refrigerator compartment channel to

prevent the water overflowing and dripping

onto the food inside. Use the special

cleaner provided, which you will find

already inserted into the drain hole.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long

periods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity

supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the

appliance and all accessories.

4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.

Warning! If you want to keep the

appliance switched on, ask

somebody to check it once in a

while to prevent the food inside

from spoiling in case of a power

failure.

Troubleshooting

Warning! Refer to Safety

chapters.
