FREEZING ICE CUBES
To freeze ice cubes fill the dish with water and place it on the bottom of the freezer compartment. To accelerate the process
turn the regulator up to the highest mark. However, do not forget to turn it back again afterwards.
DEFROSTING
When operating normally, the cooling ribs in the normal compartment defrost automatically. In the case of increased air
humidity, frost may form on the cooling ribs. Should the frost layer attain a thickness of approximately 3 mm, the refrigerator
must be defrosted to avoid impairing the performance level. Even if this is not the case, the (
***
) freezer compartment must
be defrosted on a regular basis following heavy ice formation. This is carried out as follows:
Set the thermostat at 0',
disconnect at the mains
, remove food and ice dish and leave the doors open. Do not expose
the refrigerator to external heat and do not attempt to scratch away the frost with sharp objects.
The drained water runs in a groove and from there continues along a pipe through the refrigerator's rear panel and into
a collection container on the cooling unit, where the water evaporates by itself. Should the frost layer become very thick,
there is a danger of the collection basin overflowing. In this case the water should be absorbed by a cloth placed under
the ribs. The water in the freezer compartment should also be absorbed by a cloth.
Following defrosting, the refrigerator should be wiped dry with a cloth, reconnected and the food returned. However, you
should wait until the following day before freezing ice cubes.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Set the thermostat at 0' and
disconnect at the mains
. Defrost the refrigerator as detailed above. Remove loose parts
(shelves, supports, etc.), rinse and dry. Dampen a cloth with lukewarm water (and possibly add a mild cleaning agent) and
wipe out the refrigerator from inside. Then dry off with a soft cloth. Wipe the doors' PVC seals with a damp cloth and rub
them with talcum powder from time to time. Never use scouring agents, harsh cleaning agents, heavily perfumed products,
wax or similar items. Occasionly remove the dust from the cooling unit at the rear of the refrigerator, especially from the pipe
coils and from between the ribs.
Always ensure that the refrigerator is disconnected at the mains before carrying out
this routine maintenance
.
PUTTING OUT OF SERVICE
Should the refrigerator not be in use for some time, it should be disconnected. Set the thermostat at 0' and
disconnect at
the mains
.
Empty, defrost and clean the refrigerator as detailed above. Leave the refrigerator and deep freezer doors slighty ajar.
HOW TO PROCEED IN THE CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS
Before contacting customer service, examine the refrigerator to ascertain whether:
1) the instructions in the paragraph entitled CONNECTING THE REFRIGERATOR have been observed
2) the refrigerator is positioned on a level surface
3) the voltage connection is the required 230V
4) the fuse is not defective.
Should the refrigerator not be cooling sufficiently, it may be because:
the cooling unit is insufficiently ventilated, owing to the air inlet or ventilation aperture (mesh in the table top) being
completely or partly covered
the evaporator is covered with ice
the thermostat setting is incorrect
too much (warm) food has been stored in the refrigerator over a short period of time
the door seal is not in its correct position, or the door is not properly closed.
Should the refrigerator still not function correctly, contact customer service. Please refer to the paragraph entitled
CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPARE PARTS
.
The cooling unit must not be opened; it is highly pressurized!
SERVICING
Work on electrical equipment must only be carried out by a qualified expert and it is recommended to have this work
