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.

Models without an Ice Unit

The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation; the

defrost water drips into the drain, is collected in a special

tray and then evaporates.

Clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (see fig. 1) to

prevent water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigera-

tor instead of flowing out.

Models with an Ice Unit

It is advisable now and then to remove the frost which forms

on the evaporator.

Take care to not use sharp objects for this purpose since they

could pierce the refrigeration circuit and permanently damage

the appliance.

Proper cleaning is very important in order to guarantee that

the refrigerator operates efficiently and does not consume

excess energy needlessly.

To defrost the evaporator completely, turn the thermostat

knob to “ ” (fig. 2). The water from the frost will collect in

the special tray.

When finished, dry the tray and put it back in place.

To start the appliance again, turn the thermostat knob to the

appropriate setting.

Cleaning and Maintenance

- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless

materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed

containers to store foods in order to prevent spills, stains and

the formation of difficult to remove odours.

- Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the

applianc. Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance

with a sponge soaked in a warm water and sodium

bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If

you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use a

neutral soap.

- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or

detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based

products.

- All removable parts can be cleaned by soaking them in hot

soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry them thoroughly

before replacing them.

- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in

use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior

and dry thoroughly, leaving the door open to prevent the

formation of odours and mould.

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

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

Unscrew the burned out bulb and replace it with another

bulb with a wattage no higher than 15 Watt, follow the

instructions illustrated in fig. 3.

Before carrying out this operation, disconnect the appliance

from the electricity (to do so, turn off the general switch in

the house or remove the plug for the appliance from the

socket).
