Defrosting of the refrigerator
P F
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev-
ery time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole (F) situated under the salad
drawers to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the spe-
cial cleaner provided (P), which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Cleaning the air channels
1. Remove the plinth (1), then the ventila-
tion grid (2).
2. Clean the ventilation grid.
3. Carefully pull the air deflector out (3),
checking that there is no water left from
the defrosting.
4. Clean the lower part of the appliance with
a vacuum cleaner.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
