purpose (fig. 2). Here, the heat produced by the compres-
sor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is
to periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which
is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water
drains properly.
How to Defrost the Freezer
- Every so often, remove the frost with the scraper pro-
vided with the appliance (do not use knives or metal ob-
jects).
- If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, the freezer must be
defrosted.
Proceed as follows: turn the thermostat knob (A) to the off·
setting . Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in
newspaper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool
place. Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws
completely. You can speed this process by placing con-
tainers of warm water in the compartment formation of
odours that are difficult to remove.
- Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the
internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge
soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solu-
tion, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have
any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach
or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent
based products.

- What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back
panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To re-
move dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the
appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in
use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior
and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to prevent the
formation of bad odours and mould.
- Replacing the lamp. The lamp for lighting the interior of
the appliance is located at the back of the lamp box. Un-
screw the burnt lamp and replace it with another lamp of no
more than 15 Watt, follow the instructions illustrated in fig.
