ENGLISH

To remove the frost, do these steps:

1. Switch off the appliance.

2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put it

in a cool place.

3. Leave the door open.

4. When defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly and refit the plug.

5. Switch on the appliance.

6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain

the maximum coldness and run the

appliance for two or three hours using

this setting.

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.

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. Use the special

cleaner provided, which you will find

already inserted into the drain hole.

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. Leave the door/doors open to prevent

unpleasant smells.

Warning! 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 failure.
