Care and cleaning
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigera-
tor 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.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, do these steps:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place.
3. Open the door.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. Set the temperature regulator to obtain the maximum coldness and run the appli-
ance for two or three hours using this setting.
7. Reload the previously removed food into the compartment.
WARNING!
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage
it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing proc-
ess other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the fro-
zen food packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
• remove all food
