CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE

Before proceeding with any cleaning or defrosting

operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity

mains (by setting the appliance ON/OFF knob “B” to

the OFF position and then unplugging it). Should you

fail to do this, the appliance may go into alarm mode.

WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of any anomaly. To

return to normal operating mode, turn the appliance

off and back on again by turning the appliance ON/

OFF knob “B”.

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 ducted

to the back of the appliance by a special outlet (fig. 6) where

the heat produced by the compressor makes it evaporate.

The only thing you must do is to periodically check and clean

the hole of the drain, which is located behind the fruit and

vegetable crisper, 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

defrosting enable 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.

- Turn the appliance off by turning the appliance ON/OFF

knob "B".

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 placed beneath the unit

(see fig. 7).

Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.

Remember that the motor will not start immediately,

but after approximately 8 minutes.

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

and the freezer is operated at its minimum setting,

which is essential for food preservation.

Cleaning and maintenance of the parts

Before cleaning, first turn the appliance ON/OFF knob

“B” to the OFF setting; only unplug the appliance once

the word OFF is displayed in both the fridge and freezer

compartments.

- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless

materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed

containers to store foods, in order to prevent spills which

could stain and cause unpleasant, difficult to remove odours.

- Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appli-

ance. Cean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in

warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is,

among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have

any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.

- DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents con-

taining ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.

- All removable parts should be taken out and soaked in

warm soapy water or detergent. Rinse and dry them thor-

oughly before putting them back in the appliance.

- When the appliance is not used for a long time, remember

to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leave the doors open

to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odors.

- Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior of

the refrigerator is located at the back of the thermostat box.

When replacing the lamp, unplug the appliance from the

electrical socket, unscrew the burned out lamp and replace

it with another with a wattage no higher than 15W.

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

back of the lamp cover, as indicated in fig. 8.
