APPLIANCE DEFROSTING
The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove food from the appliance and put it in a very cool place or a thermally insulated bag.
• Leave the appliance door open.
• Remove the internal defrost water drain plug (depending on model) (Fig. 8).
• Remove the external defrost water drain plug (depending on model) and reposition it as shown in fig. 8.
• Use the separator (depending on model) inside the product as a recipient for any remaining water, (D) as shown in
fig. 8. If there is no separator, use a shallow container.
• Defrosting can be sped up by using a spatula to detach the frost from the appliance walls.
• Remove the frost from the bottom of the appliance.
• In order to avoid permanent damage to the appliance interior, do not use pointed or sharp metal
instruments to remove the ice.
• Do not use abrasive products or heat up the interior artificially.
• Dry the inside of the appliance thoroughly.
• Refit the plug after defrosting.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Remove the frost from the upper edges (see Troubleshooting Guide).
• Clean the inside after defrosting, using a sponge dampened with warm water and/or mild detergent.
• Clean the side vent (if provided).
Unplug the appliance before carrying out maintenance operations. Do not use abrasive products, scourers
or stain-removers (e.g. acetone, trichloroethylene) to clean the appliance.
To obtain the best results from your appliance, carry out cleaning and maintenance at least once a year.
HANGING THE LID LIGHT BULB (if provided)
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply.
• Remove the diffuser by following the sequence of steps shown in the figure.
• Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with an identical bulb of the same wattage and voltage.
• Refit the diffuser and plug in the appliance.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. The red light blinks.
• Is there a power failure?
• Is a defrost in progress?
• Is the lid closed properly?
• Is the product near a heat source?
• Are the ventilation grille and condenser clean?
2. All the indicator lights blink together.
• Contact the After-Sales Service.
3. The product is excessively noisy.
• Is the product perfectly horizontal?
• Is the product touching other cabinets or objects that can cause vibrations?
• Has the packing been removed from the base of the product?
Note: A slight noise caused by circulation of the refrigerant gas even after the compressor has stopped is quite
normal.
