energy consumption low, we suggest you periodically scrape off
the ice from the walls. Never use poined or sharp objects.
We recommend you defrost the appliance once or twice a year,
when the layer of frost reaches a 3mm thickness (Fig. 8).
To defrost the appliance, operate as follows:
- Disconnect it from the mains supply (Fig. 9);
- Remove all foods from the compartment.
- Turn the thermostat control knob to position
●
;
- Dry the defrost water with a sponge or with a cloth (Fig. 10).
At completion of defrosting, dry the compartment walls, connect
the appliance to the mains, turn the thermostat control knob as
indicated in chapter "Adjustment of the temperature".
For this model as well, the defrosting of the refrigerator
compartment is automatic.
Attention: A temperature rise of frozen foods during defrosting
may shorten their storage life.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
A periodic and proper maintenance will ensure a longer life to
your appliance. When carrying out any cleaning operation or
intervention, always disconnect the appliance from the
mains supply.
Periodically clean the inside of the compartments with a solution
of lukewarm water and vinegar. Rinse and dry.
Never use abrasives or detergents.
Periodically clean the drain situated at the rear (Fig. 11) with the
tool provided.
Clean the door gasket with water and dry carefully. Avoid soil-
ing the door gasket with oil or grease, which could damage it.
Clean the outside of the appliance with a sponge dampened in
lukewarm water. Dry with a soft cloth.
Clean periodically the condenser (Fig. 12) with a vacuum-cleaner.
HINTS FOR HOLIDAYS
If you plan to be away for a long time: disconnect the ap-
pliance from the mains supply, empty and clean the inside.
Leave
the door open to prevent the appliance from smelling musty.
If you plan to be away for a short time: let the appliance ope-
rate normally.,To disconnect the appliance temporarily turn the
thermostat control knob to position

HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
You can save enery when operating the appliance:
- Check the door gasket; level the appliance to ensure a correct
door closing.
- If the appliance is provided with a compartment, periodi-
cally clean it from excessive frost; defrost when the layer on the
walls reaches a 3mm thickness.
- Periodically clean the condenser.
- Open the door only when necessary. Close it as soon as you ha-
ve removed food.
- Do not overload the refrigerator: let air circulate freely inside it.
- Do not adjust the thermostat control knob to an excessive cold
position: you will waste energy.
- Ensure that the appliance is not installed near a heat source su-
ch as cookers, radiators, boilers or in direct sunlight.
SERVICE (Fig. 15)
The incorrect operation of the appliance is not always due to a
fault but it may also result from poor installation or usage.
To prevent unnecessary service calls for which you will be char-
ged, we suggest you consult this trouble-shooting guide.
1) The temperature in the compartments is not cold enou-
gh. Check that:
- the door is properly shut;
- the thermostat is in the correct position (see chapter
"Adjustment of the temperature");
- the appliance is not too close to a heat source;
- the condenser is clean (Fig. 12);
- the low temperature compartment is not covered with an exces-
sive layer of frost.
- the air flow is not restricted.
2) The interior temperature is too cold. Check that:
- the thermostat control knob is in the correct position;
3) The appliance is excessively noisy. Check that:
- the appliance is level;
4) The appliance does not work at all. Check that:
- the thermostat control knob is not set to position
●
;
- there is not a power failure;
- the supply plug is making good contact with the supply socket;
- check the plug fuse by connecting another appliance to the
supply socket.
For Great Britain only:
Check the plug fuse (if fitted).
A 13 A fuse must be fitted. Try new fuse - check removable plugs
for loose connections and tighten if necessary. Loose connections
can cause overheating of the plug: where this has occurred, re-
place the plug.
- The supply cable is broken (See also Note).
5) The interior light does not work
See point 4. Unplug the appliance and remove the lamp cover,
with a screwdriver (Fig. 13) and check that the bulb is not loose -
tighten if necessary. To change the faulty bulb, proceed as above
and fit a replacement bulb of not more than 15 W rating (Fig.
14).
6) Water on the floor of the refrigerator compartment
Check that:
- the thermostat is correclty set;
- the defrost water drainage system is not blocked;
- the drain hole is not obstructed (see chapter "Maintenance")
(Fig. 11).
Note: When replacing a damaged supply cord, be sure the new
cord is correctly clamped.
If you have followed the above checks and your appliance still
does not work properly, get in touch with the Service division.
Addresses and telephone numbers can be found on the Service
Registration Card or Booklet.
State clearly what is wrong and the type and serial number of
your appliance, which are indicated on the rating plate (Fig. 6).
