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.
