Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside
the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed clean-
ing products or wax polishes to
clean the interior as this will dam-
age the surface and leave a
strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance
with a brush. This operation will improve
the performance of the appliance and
save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface clean-
ers contain chemicals that can attack/
damage the plastics used in this appli-
ance. For this reason it is recommended
that the outer casing of this appliance is
only cleaned with warm water with a little
washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment
to the mains supply.
6.3 Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from
the evaporator of the refrigerator com-
partment every time the motor compres-
sor stops, during normal use. The de-
frost water drains out through a drain
hole into a special container at the back
of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, 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 drip-
ping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which
you will find already inserted into the
drain hole.
6.4 Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form
on the freezer shelves and around the
top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the
instructions below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket
or switch off the appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in
several layers of newspaper and put it
in a cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the
drawers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by plac-
ing bowls with hot water (not boiling) in-
side the freeze
• Loosen the drainage channel from its
resting position, push it in according
to the illustration and place it in the
bottom freezer drawer where water
can collect
