appliance. If the ambient temperature is
high and the temperature control is set to
low temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice formation
on the evaporator. In this case, set the
temperature control toward higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting
and to save energy this way. To save energy,
do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
Freezer: The internal configuration of the
appliance is the one that ensures the most
Care and cleaning
Warning! Refer to Safety
chapters.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe
them clean to ensure they are clean and
free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
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.

efficient use of energy. Do not remove the
freezer blocks from the freezer basket. The
colder the temperature setting, the higher
the energy consumption.
Refrigerator: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the appliance
and shelves evenly distributed. Position of
the door bins does not affect energy
consumption. Do not set too high
temperature to save energy unless it is
required by the characteristics of the food.
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.
For this purpose use the tube cleaner
provided in the accessory bag.
Defrosting of the freezer
Caution! 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.
Do not use the supplied ice
scraper to prepare food.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting
set a lower temperature in order
to build up sufficient chill reserve
in case of any interruption in
operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top
compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer
reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
