Keeping Your Appliance in Shape

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 operation to be performed on a regular basis is to

control that the outlet water flows freely. Clean the outlet

hole with the special cleaning brush.

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. 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 to be placed beneath the

unit (proceed as illustrated in fig. 7).

Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.

Remember that the motor will not start immediately,

but rather 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 (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.

Cleaning and maintenance of the parts

Before you clean the refrigerator, 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 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.

- 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. 8.
