Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, dur-
ing 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 refriger-
ator 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.

Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on
the other hand, is a "no frost" type. This
means that there is no buildup of frost when
it is in operation, neither on the internal walls
nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compart-
ment, driven by an automatically controlled
fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long pe-
riods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
12)
• defrost
and clean the appliance and all
accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody
to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
Important! There are some sounds during
normal use (compressor, refrigerant
circulation).
Check if the appliance stands sta-
ble (all the four feet should be on
the floor)
