Hints for the user

Follow the advice below for greater
appliance EFFICIENCY:
- NEVER put WARM food in your refrigerator.
- Do not open the DOOR more than is
NECESSARY.
- Check that all food is WRAPPED or placed
in AIRTIGHT CONTAINERS to avoid the
mingling of ODOURS.
- NEVER use the refrigerator to store
VOLATILE FLAMMABLES. A leak could
cause a violent EXPLOSION.
- Fruits and vegetables keep preferably
wrapped in plastic bags to avoid an
excessive loss of humidity.

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment has AUTOMATIC
DEFROST which comes
WHENEVER the COMPRESSOR UNIT cuts out.
The WATER from defrosting drains through a
hole in the back of the TANK and evaporates
automatically to cool the MOTOR. This cycle is
designed to improve
EFFICIENCY.
Your ONLY TASK is to make sure that the
water OUTLET is CLEAN (figure 6,1)
