MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
maintenance operation.

Defrosting

During normal operation, the evaporator in the
refrigerator compartment will gradually become
covered with frost.
This frost is a thermal insulator which inhibits cooling
and must therefore be removed, otherwise there will
be a significant reduction in cooling efficiency and an
increase in electricity consumption.

To defrost, proceed as follows:

1. Press the button in the middle of the thermostat

knob;

2. Once defrosted the refrigerator will start up agai

automatically. The water which has collected in the
tray placed under the evaporator must be removed.

3. Dry thoroughly the ice-compartment.

Periodic cleaning

Never use metal objects for clearing your appliance
as it may get damaged. Clean the inside with warm
water and bicarbonate of soda. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a
year remove the ventilation grille at the base and
clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food:
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent
unpleasant smells.

Interior light

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment can
be reached as follows:

1. unscrew the light cover securing screws;

2. unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.

If the door is open and the light does not come on,
check that the bulb is properly screwed in; if it still
does not work, replace the bulb with one of the same
power.
The maximum rating is shown on the light cover.
