Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
¥ make sure that the commercially frozen
foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
¥ be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred
from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest
possible time;

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.

Periodic cleaning

Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Interior light

The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment
can be reached as follows:
- unscrew the light cover securing screw.
- unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.
If the light does not come on when the door is open,
check that it is screwed into place properly. If it still
does not light up, change the bulb.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.

Defrosting

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.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.
