MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out

any maintenance operation.

Warning

This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore
only be carried out by authorized technicians.

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operstion will
improve the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.

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.

Defrosting

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every 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 compressor, where it evaporates.

It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.

The freezer compartment of this model, on the other
hand, is a " no frost" type. This means that there is
no buildup of frost when it is in operation, neither on
the internal walls nor on the foods.

The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compartment, driven
by an automatically controlled fan.
