Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
Before proceeding with any cleaning or defrosting
operations, disconnect the appliance from the
electricity mains (by setting the appliance ON/OFF knob
"B" to the OFF position and then unplugging it). Should
you fail to do this, the appliance may go into alarm
mode. WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of any
anomaly. To return to normal operating mode, turn
the appliance off and back on again by turning the
appliance ON/OFF knob "B".
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 ducted
to the back of the appliance by a special outlet (fig. 6) where
the heat produced by the compressor makes it evaporate.
The only operation to be performed on a regular basis is to
control that the outlet water flows freely. Clean the outlet
hole with the special cleaning brush.
How to defrost the freezer compartment.
There is no need to defrost the freezer since the "ventilated
cold air" cooling system prevents the formation of frost and
ice on the walls.

HOLIDAY FUNCTION. Mould and bad odours forming
inside your unused fridge when you go on holiday need
no longer be a problem: just enable the Holiday
function (from the display). This way, with limited
energy consumption, the temperature of the
refrigerator compartment is kept at around 12°C (you
can store your make-up and beauty
products in it, for example) and the
freezer is operated at its minimum
setting, which is essential for food
preservation.
Cleaning and maintenance of the parts
Before you clean the refrigerator, turn the appliance
ON/OFF knob "B" to the OFF setting; only unplug the
appliance once the word OFF is displayed in both the
fridge and freezer compartments.
- 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 solution, 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.
- All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot
soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry thoroughly before
replacing them.
- When the appliance is left unused for an extended amount of
time. If you decide to switch your appliance off during the summer
months, clean it on the inside and leave the doors open.
- Replacing the light bulb.
When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment
unplug the unit from the power supply and chang the used
lamp with another one of not more than 15 W.
For access ti lamp "A", remove the centre screw "B" at the
back of the lamp cover, as indicated in fig. 7.
