3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4. If accessible, clean the condenser and

the compressor at the back of the

appliance with a brush.

This operation will improve the

performance of the appliance and save

energy consumption.

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. 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.

Defrosting of the refrigerator

Troubleshooting

Warning! Refer to Safety

chapters.

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.

Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment is frost free. This

means that there is no build up of frost

when it is in operation, neither on the

internal walls, nor on the foods.
