Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed
up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is
drained to the back towards the drain pipe installed for this
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(fig. 3). You can speed this process by placing
containers of warm water in the compartment.

Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before
cleaning.
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use
sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the
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.
- Dishwashable: All the removable parts can be cleaned by
soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If you own a
dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the dishwasher.
Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them.
- What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the
back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance.
To remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully us-
ing 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 inte-
rior 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. 4.
