12.MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
12.1 Defrosting the refrigerator section
The refrigerator compartment has automatic defrosting. During normal operation of the refrigerator, frost
forms on its back wall when the compressor is working and dissolves when it is not in operation. When
the compressor is not working, the frost which has built up on the back wall melts and the water flows
into the opening provided in the bottom of the body of the refrigerator. From here, it flows into the tray on
the compressor, where it evaporates.
Warning: the amount of ice which forms on the back wall may vary with changes in weather conditions
(temperature and humidity), the frequency with which the door is opened, the appliance's operating
temperatures and the amount of fresh foods stored inside (especially fruit and vegetables).
The formation of condensation on the inside surfaces of the refrigerator during normal use is
quite normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
12.2 Defrosting the freezer section
The freezer compartment has to be defrosted manually. When the thickness of frost or ice on the shelves
exceeds 2 cm, the freezer should be defrosted. A few hours before starting defrosting, press the
button and activate the “rapid freezing” function to increase the freezing of the foods in the freezer
section.
To defrost the freezer quickly, both the main door and the door of the freezer section itself must be open.
Then press both the buttons on the control panel for 3 or 4 seconds to turn the freezer and the
refrigerator off and disconnect the plug from the electrical mains.
After removing the removable basket, place a basin on the top shelf of the freezer to collect most of the
water formed after defrosting and cover the bottom of the freezer section with absorbent paper to soak
up any water deposited there. These two precautions will make it quicker and easier to collect the water
after defrosting.
Before placing the absorbent paper on the bottom, the removable basket most be removed as described
below.
1) 2) 3)
1) Turn the basket until the pin is in line with the slot in the support;
2) push the basket to insert the pin in the slot in the support;
3) completely remove the basket, also freeing the front pin.
During defrosting, the temperature of the foods rises and this may reduce their natural storage time. To
minimise the damage caused by partial thawing of foods during this procedure, we suggest you place all
the frozen foods in a separate container and cover them until the defrosting process is over. This will
keep the foods frozen for longer even outside the freezer.
The freezer section can also be defrosted with the refrigerator section still in operation: simply press the
key on the freezer section control panel and close both the doors. Naturally, all the precautions
described above, such as the basin on the top shelf and the absorbent paper on the bottom of the
freezer section, still apply. Bear in mind that defrosting will take considerably longer.
The use of any mechanical or electronic devices other than those provided by the manufacturer to speed
up defrosting and freezing is forbidden.
