Energy Saving Tips

- Install the appliance correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from

heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.

- Correct temperature settings

Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one of

the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only

consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve or

lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low tem-

perature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.

- Do not overfill your appliance

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air

circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circu-

lation and overwork the compressor.

- Shut the doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem-

ber that every time you open the door most of the cold air

will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume en-

ergy, to restore the correct temperature.

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.

- Check the door seals

keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely against

the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

- Never store hot foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the

temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-

perature before storing.

- Check your appliance for build up of ice

Remember to check the walls of the freezer for frost; when

the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately

(See "Maintenance Instructions").

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.
