What to do if...

Defrosting the refrigerator

Frost is automatically eliminated from the evap-
orator of the refrigerator compartment every time
the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a drain hole
into a special container at the back of the appli-
ance, over the motor compressor, where it evap-
orates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole to prevent the water overflowing
and dripping onto the food inside. It is located
behind the Natura fresh drawers in the refrigera-
tor compartment.

Defrosting of the freezer

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.

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. clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
What to do if...
During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given
about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and circulating
sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.
The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean being
no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
