Caring for your appliance
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug orturning
off the general switch in your home).
Defrosting
The frost should be removed from the walls of the appliance
periodically.
Never use sharp metal objects to remove frost because they
could pierce the cooling circuit and damage the freezer
beyong repair.
Use the plastic scraper provided for this purpose.
To defrost the appliance completely (this should be done
once or twice a year), turn off the green light and leave the
door open until the frost has completely thawed.
A defrost water collection system is situated at the bottom
of this appliance “D” as shown in figure 2.
To speed up defrosting, place one or more basins of warm
water inside the appliance.
When defrosting, remove the frozen food from the appliance,
wrap it in newspaper and store in a cool place. Since the rise
in temperature will shorten the storage life of the food, it
should be used as soon as possible.

Trouble shooting
The appliance is noisy.
Check that:
••••• The appliance is perfectly level;
•••••
The appliance has been installed between cabinets or other
items that vibrate or are noisy.
•••••
Remember that the refrigerating gas in the cooling circuit
causes a slight bubbling sound, even when the compressor
is not running (this is quite normal).
If after making these checks you still find your appliance
doesn’t work properly, call a Service Centre, and describe
the problem. Make sure that you know the model code
and the relative numbers printed on the data plate located
on the bottom left hand side of the appliance next to the
crisper.
Never call unauthorized personnel and insist on the
use of original spare parts.
Green Light Off
Check that:
•••••
there is no power failure
•••••
the general switch or circuit breaker in your home is not
disconnected
Red Light always On
Check that:
•••••
the door is shut properly and that the door seals are not
damaged;
•••••
the thermostat temperature knob is on the correct setting;
•••••
there is not too much frost on the inside walls.
Compressor operates continuously
Check that:
•••••
the yellow light is not on (continuous operating function);
•••••
the thermostat is in the correct position.
Cleaning and maintenance
The refrigerator should be cleaned periodically with a solution
of bicarbonate of soda and warm water. Never use abrasives,
detergents or soaps; after washing, rinse with clean water
and dry with care.
When these operations have been completed, turn on the
green light and set the thermostat knob to the appropriate
operating position.
After 2 or 3 hours, the appliance will once again be ready
for preserving frozen and deep-frozen foods.
