TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING! Refer to Safety chapters.
18
DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR
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.
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.
CAUTION! If you want to keep the
appliance switched on, ask somebody
to check it once in a while to prevent
the food inside from spoiling in case of
a power failure.
