Mounting of the water collection tray
The tray for the water collection, (delivered with
the appliance) must be mounted in the rear of
it, under the condenser, on the metal fixing
part. It is mounted on the eyes of the metal
parts by its displacement in the direction
shown by the arrow (Item 6). The tray will be
detached from the fixing part if you want to
move the appliance from one place to another,
mounting it back after moving (Item 7).
Way of energy saving
Avoid to place the appliance in a sunny
place or near a heat source.
Provide the good ventilation of the
compressor and condenser.
Do not leave the door open more than
necessary and open it only when it is
required.
Keep the condenser clean (the piping at the
rear of the appliance).
Advice to defrost your appliance
Fridge & Chiller operation.
The defrosting of your appliance in Fridge or
Chiller operation is completely automatic and
it occurs during each period of stop of the
motor-compressor controlled by the
thermostat. No intervention from you is
necessary. The water from the defrosting is
collected in the water collection tray placed in
the rear of the appliance, from where it
evaporates.
Freezer operation.
- We advise you to defrost the freezer at least
twice a year or when the ice layer has an
excessive thickness.
- The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
- The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-up
depends on the ambient conditions and on the
frequency of the door opening.
- We advise you to defrost the appliance when
the quantity of frozen food is the least.
- Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat
knob to a higher position of the “Freezer”
mode so that the food stores more cold.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several
sheets of paper and put them in refrigerator or
a cool place.
- In defrosting period if a large amount of ice
is present please check in the rear of the
appliance the level of the water in the water
tray (Item 6.). In case of exceeding the
maximum capacity of the water tray detach it
in order to remove the collected water then
mount the tray again.
- For a fast thaw please leave the door open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to remove
the ice.
Do not use hairdryers or other electric
heating appliances for defrosting.
Inside cleaning
Before starting the cleaning, unplug the
appliance from the mains.
It is advisable to clean the appliance when
you defrost it.
Wash the inside with lukewarm water
where you add some neutral detergent. Do
not use soap, gasoline or acetone which can
leave a strong odour.
Wipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft
cloth.
During this operation, avoid the excess of
water, in order to prevent its entrance into the
thermal insulation of the appliance, which
would cause unpleasant odours.
Do not forget to clean also the door gasket
especially the bellow ribs, by means of a
clean cloth.
Outside cleaning
Clean the outside of the cooler by means of
a sponge soaked in soapy warm water, wipe
with a soft cloth and dry.
The cleaning of the outside part of the
refrigerating circuit (motorcompressor,
condenser, connection tubes) will be done
with a soft brush or with the vacuum-cleaner.
During this operation, please take care not to
distort the tubes or detach the cables.
Do not use scouring or abrasive materials!
After having finished the cleaning, replace
the accessories at their places and plug in the
appliance.
The tray will be cleaned every time when it
is required.
Attention: The cleaning will be done with the
tray detached from the appliance.
After having finished the cleaning, put the
accessories back to their places.
