Important! Do not pull, move or damage any

pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax

polishes to clean the interior as this will dam-

age the surface and leave a strong odour.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the

compressor at the back of the appliance with

a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation

will improve the performance of the appli-

ance and save electricity consumption.

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 cas-

ing 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 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 de-

frost water drain hole in the middle of the re-

frigerator compartment channel to prevent

the water overflowing and dripping onto the

food inside. Use the special cleaner provi-

ded, which you will find already inserted into

the drain hole.

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 sever-

al layers of newspaper and put it in a

cool place.

3. Leave the door open.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the in-

terior thoroughly and refit the plug.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain

the maximum coldness and run the appli-

ance for two or three hours using this set-

ting.

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.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long pe-

riods, take the following precautions:

1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity

supply.

2. Remove all food.

3. Defrost, if foreseen

4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.

5. Leave all doors ajar to prevent unpleas-

ant 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 fail-

ure.
