Important! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage
the plastics used in this appliance. For this
reason it is recommended that the outer cas-
ing of this appliance is only cleaned with
warm water with a little washing-up liquid
added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to
the mains supply.
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

riods, take the following precautions:
