FROSTMATIC
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the
same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
1.
The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC but-
ton. The yellow light illuminates.
If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance switch off
the FROSTMATIC function after 48 hours. The yellow light goes out.
2.
The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Alarm reset button
In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power
cut) warning light (N) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.
After the temperature has returned to normal, the warning light (N) will
continue to flash, although the buzzer has stopped.
When the alarm button is pressed, the warmest temperature reached in the
compartment flashes on the indicator.
Switching the Appliance off
To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds. This will
result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature
display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display
will go off.
Note:
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is no
power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains power sup-
ply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before the inter-
ruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1.
Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display
goes off (see above).
2.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3.
Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see
section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
4.
Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.

Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator
compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whe-
never the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not
necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1.
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very
cool place.
2.
Switch off the appliance and pull
out the plug, or remove or
unscrew the safety fuses.
3.
Leave the freezer compartment
door open.
4.
Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collec-
ting basin under it.
5.
Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6.
Turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or replace the plug in the
power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shor-
ten their safe storage life.
