Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
Before performing any cleaning or defrosting operations,
unplug the appliance from the mains electricity supply
(keep ON/OFF button "A" pressed down for more than
two seconds, until OFF is displayed in both fridge and
freezer compartments, then unplug the appliance). Should
you fail to follow this procedure, an alarm condition may
arise. WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of an anomaly. To
restore your appliance's normal operating conditions, keep
ON/OFF button "A" pressed down for more than two
seconds to turn the appliance off and then turn it back on
and set the required temperatures.
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
This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is chan-
neled to the back toward the drain installed for this purpose
(fig. 7). Here, the heat produced by the compressor will make
it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to periodically check
and clean the hole of the drain, which is located behind the
vegetable crispers, so that the water drains properly.
How to defrost the freezer compartment
- Remove the frost from time to time with the aid of the
special scraper provided (do not use knives or metal objects).
- If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, then you must defrost
the freezer completely. Proceed as follows: one day before
enabling the SUPER FREEZE function in the 24-hour mode;
it helps give the food a healthy extra "cold shock". After 24
hours, the freezing function is automatically disabled but you
can disable it yourself from the display. Turn the appliance
off by pressing the ON/OFF (A) button for more than two
seconds. WARNING: this operation switches off the whole
appliance (including the fridge compartment).
Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either in
another refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the door open,
so as to allow all the frost to melt completely, helping it along
with containers filled with lukewarm water.
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. 8).
Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.
Remember that the motor will not start immediately,
but rather after approximately 8 minutes.

Cleaning and maintenance of the parts
HOLIDAY FUNCTION. Mould and bad odours forming
inside your unused fridge when you go on holiday need
no longer be a problem: just enable the Holiday
function (from the display). This way, with limited
energy consumption, the temperature
of the refrigerator compartment is kept
at around 12°C (you can store your
make-up and beauty products in it, for
example) and the freezer is operated
at its minimum setting, which is
essential for food preservation.
Before cleaning your refrigerator, keep ON/OFF button "A"
pressed down for more than two seconds, until OFF is
displayed in both fridge and freezer compartments, then
unplug the appliance.
- 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.
- All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot
soapy water or detergent. 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.
- When the appliance is left unused for an extended amount of
time. If you decide to switch your appliance off during the summer
months, clean it on the inside and leave the doors open.
- 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. 9.
