Caring for Your Appliance

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance

from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning

off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed

up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-

ommended by the manufacturer.

How to defrost the refrigerator compartment

This appliance features automatic defrosting; condensed

water flows to the back of the appliance through a drain

(see Fig. 3) where the heat produced by the compressor

causes it to evaporate to the exterior.

The only precaution you need take, is to ensure the drain

hole behind the crisper is cleaned regularly, so that the wa-

ter can drain freely.

How to defrost the freezer compartment

Remember to regularly remove frost with the scraper pro-

vided (never use a knife).

When the layer of frost is more than 5 mm thick you should

defrost the appliance. Follow these steps: set knob A to " ";

wrap deep frozen and frozen foods in newspaper; and place

them in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the freezer

door open so that the frost thaws completely, placing basins

of warm water in the freezer to speed up defrosting.

The unit is provided with a system which allows the defrost

water to be collected in a container to be placed beneath

the unit (proceed as illustrated in fig. 4).

Dry the inside of the unit carefully.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always unplug the appliance from the mains before

cleaning.

- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless

materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed

containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation

of odours that are difficult to remove.

- Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the

internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked

with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which

is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium

bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.

- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach

or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based

products.

- Dishwashable: All the removable parts can be cleaned by

soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If you own a

dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the dishwasher.

Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them.

- What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back

panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To

remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the

appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.

- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in

use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior

and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to prevent the

formation of bad odours and mould.

- Replacing the light bulb.

When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment

unplug the unit from the power supply and chang the used

lamp with another one of not more than 15 W.

For access ti lamp "A", remove the centre screw "B" at the

back of the lamp cover, as indicated in fig. 5.
