Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various
sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height.
To make these adjustments proceed as follows:
Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes off, then reposition as
required.
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.
The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4
mm. During this operation it is not necessary to
switch off the power supply or to remove the
foodstuffs.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried
out as follows:
pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
thermostat knob to the «O» setting;
remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
leave the door open, and remove the water which
forms during defrosting by means of a sponge of
cloth;
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly; keep the scraper for future use;
turn the thermostat knob back to the required
D006
D026
setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
After two or three hours, reload the previously
removed food into the compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
