English User’s manual FRIDGE FREEZERS

fi210217

To prevent condensation and ice forming, allow cooked

food to cool down to room temperature before closing the

lid of the dish and before storage.

Leave the freezer door open as briefly as possible to

avoid wasting energy and to prevent an excessive

amount of ice forming in the freezer compartment.

If the red pilot light comes on unexpectedly or stays on for

a long period, do not open the door on any account and

take appropriate measures immediately (see “What to

do when...“ at the back of the user manual).

Never use a screwdriver or any other sharp-edged metal

tool to remove the layers of ice. The inside walls are very

delicate and can be easily damaged by sharp edges. Use

only plastic or wooden scrapers with no sharp edges.

9 Cleaning and maintenance

As a firm rule, unplug the power plug or switch off at the

mains.

For the upkeep of the external appearance of your fridge /

freezer, clean the outside every now and again with furniture

polish or with an enamel protecting product (never, on any

account use it inside). Clean the door seal with warm water

now and again but do not use any cleaning products.

Clean your appliance regularly.

The various parts inside the fridge / freezer are generally

not suitable for dishwashers. These should be washed by

hand with warm water and a little washing-up liquid.

Never use the cleaning agent neat and on no

account use any abrasive or acid, i.e. chemical cleaning

products. A general all-purpose pH neutral cleaning agent

is recommended.

The rating plate inside or outside your appliance should

not be damaged and should never be removed - this is

essential for servicing. Make sure, when cleaning, that no

water runs onto any electrical parts inside the appliance.

If there is a heat exchanger -called condenser- on the

back of your fridge / freezer, this should be cleaned

regularly. Dust and dirt impede the release of heat from

the inside and considerably increase energy

consumption. For best results, use a soft brush or a

duster to remove dust from the condenser.

Special tip for cleaning the fridge

Clean the drain hole in the fridge from time to time with, for

example, cotton buds, in order to keep it clear.

Switching off the appliance

If your appliance is going to be switched off for longer

periods (such as during holidays), it should be left open to

prevent odours from building up inside. If your appliance has

a lock, set the lock in the “closed” position with the doors

open and keep the key well away from small children to

prevent accidents.

Ice and frost layers which build up to a certain thickness on

the inside walls, act as insulation and prevent the dispersion

of the coldness. These must be removed from time to time.

To remove the layers of ice from the inside walls, use a

plastic or wood scraper with no sharp edges.

When doing this, remove the drawers and lay a cloth on the

bottom of the appliance to catch the ice as it is scraped off

so that it can be easily removed.

The method least likely to damage your appliance when

removing the layers of ice is to defrost it.

Defrosting (Not applicable for NO FROST devices)

In normal circumstances (opening the freezer 4 – 5 times a

day), the freezer compartment should be defrosted once or

twice a year (more often in other circumstances).

The fridge compartment is defrosted automatically.

Danger warnings

Never use electrical appliances to defrost your appliance,

such as a hair dryer, fan heater, dehumidifiers, de-icing

sprays or anything with a naked flame (e.g. candles).

The plastic inside of your appliance could melt and the

escaping gas or foam could be ignited by sparks or by the

naked flame.

On no account should a steam-cleaning device be

used to defrost the layers of ice in the appliance

(great risk of an electric shock).

Proceed as follows to defrost your appliance:

1. Provide a suitable non-metallic container (a plastic

container or wash-basket).

2. Make sure that you remove the plug from the power

socket.

3. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage from

contact with ice

(It is advisable to use gloves).

4. Remove all frozen food from the freezer and roll it firmly

in newspaper place it in the container already prepared

and place the container in a cool, dry room.

5. Cover the container all around with a thick blanket.

6. Remove the drawers by pulling them as far out as

possible and then raising them slightly.

7. As described previously, scrape the thickest ice carefully

from inside the freezer and put it in the kitchen sink.

8. If your appliance is equipped with a drip duct at the

bottom of the appliance, pull it out and place a bowl to

catch the dripping water underneath it.

9. If necessary, speed up defrosting by placing a large bowl

of warm (not too hot) water on the bottom of the

appliance and close the door.

10. If your appliance is not equipped with a drip duct, place

an absorbent cloth underneath the front of the appliance

and wipe up the defrosting water with a sponge.

11. Thoroughly clean the inside. Wipe it out with warm water

and a little vinegar and then rinse it out with clear water.

12. Dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth and air it for 3-4

minutes.

13. Close the door and plug the appliance back in.

14. Reset the temperature dial to the maximum setting.

(If your appliance is equipped with green and red

pilot lights, these will come on) and if the SUPER

FREEZE SWITCH is provided, switch it on (the yellow

light will also come on).

15. Now refill the drawers with the frozen food - the oldest

items at the top.

To prevent the frozen food from defrosting, carry out the

steps described above within two hours at the most.

16. When the red pilot light goes off, reset the temperature

dial to a medium setting.

If provided, switch off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH

after about 12, but no later than 24 hours (the yellow

light will go off).
