Keeping Your Appliance in Shape

Fig. 3

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

- The materials used to build your appliance are hygienic

and do not transmit odors. However, to preserve this quality

of your appliance, the food stored in it must be well closed

and covered to prevent spills which could stain it and cause

unpleasant odors.

- Only water and baking soda. To clean both the interior and

exterior, use a sponge with warm water and baking soda,

which is, among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do

not have any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.

- What not to use. Never use abrasives, bleach or ammonia.

Solvents and similar products are strictly prohibited.

- All the removable part should be taken out and allowed to

soak in hot water and dishwashing soap. Rinse and dry them

well before putting them back in the refrigerator.

- And the back? This is where dust builds up, causing prob-

lems with the appliance. Use a long adapter on your vacuum,

at a medium power setting, to remove it. Be delicate!

- When the appliance is not used for a long time. If you

decide not to use the appliance (during the summer), it must

cleaned and the doors left open to prevent the formation of

mold and unpleasant odors.

- How to replace the refrigerator lamp. The lamp is located

on the pack part of the thermostat knob box. When replac-

ing the lamp, disconnect the appliance from the mains, un-

screw the burned out lamp and replace it with another fol-

lowing the steps illustrated in figure 4. Make sure that the

wattage is not greater than 15W.

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance

from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning

off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed

up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-

ommended by the manufacturer.

How to Defrost the Refrigerator

This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is

channeled to the back toward the drain installed for this

purpose (fig. 3). Here, the heat produced by the compressor

will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to

periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is

located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains

properly.

How to Defrost the Freezer

- Every so often, remove the frost with the scraper provided

with the appliance (do not use knives or metal objects).

- If the frost is more than 15 mm thick, the freezer must be

defrosted.

Proceed as follows: turn the thermostat knob (A) to the ·

setting . Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in

newspaper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool

place. Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws

completely. You can speed this process by placing containers

of warm water in the compartment.
