Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
During cleaning and maintenance it is necessary to
disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
It is not sufficient to set the temperature adjustment knobs
on
OFF
(appliance off) to eliminate all electrical contact.

refrigerator and to prevent the formation of stains, food
must always be covered or sealed properly.

period of time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
Defrosting the appliance
! Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost
the appliance as these may damage the refrigeration
circuit beyond repair.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function:
water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special
discharge outlet (see diagram) where the heat produced
by the compressor causes it to evaporate. It is necessary
to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the water
can flow out easily.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost
manually:
1. Set the TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT knob to the position
OFF
.
2. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in another
freezer or in a cool place.
3. Leave the door open until the frost has melted completely. This
can be made easier by placing containers with lukewarm water
in the freezer compartment.
4. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN SYSTEM to lead the
water outside: let the water flow into a container (see diagram).
5. Clean and dry the freezer compartment carefully before
switching the appliance on again.
6. Waitforapproximately2hours,i.e.untiltheidealstorage
conditions have been restored, before placing food in the freezer
compartment.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out
the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.
Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the
diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range
indicated on the cover (10W or15W).
