Cleaning and Special Maintenance
Before cleaning the refrigerator, switch off and remove
the plug from the socket.
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic, odourless
materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed
containers to store foods, in order to prevent spills which
could stain and cause unpleasant, difficult to remove odours.
- Use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appli-
ance. Cean the interior and exterior with a sponge soaked in
warm water and a sodium bicarbonate solution, which is,
among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do not have
any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.
- DO NOT use abrasive detergents, bleach or deterents con-
taining ammonia. NEVER use solvent based products.
- All removable parts should be taken out and soaked in
warm soapy water or detergent. Rinse and dry them thor-
oughly before putting them back in the appliance.
- When the appliance is not used for a long time, remember
to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leave the doors open
to prevent the formation of mould and unpleasant odors.
- Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior of
the refrigerator is located at the back of the thermostat box.
When replacing the lamp, unplug the appliance from the
electrical socket, unscrew the burned out lamp and replace
it with another with a wattage no higher than 15W (fig. 4).
CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE
Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning
off the general switch in your home).
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
Do not use mechanical devices or instruments other
than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed
up the defrosting process.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation. The
defrost water is collected by the conveyor and is evaporated
externally automatically.
Clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (fig. 2). This
will prevent the water collecting on the bottom of the refrig-
erator instead of flowing out.
How to Defrost the Freezer
- If the frost is more than 7-8 mm thick, the freezer compart-
ment must be defrosted.
Proceed as follows:
- Turn the temperature control (A) to the setting.
- Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in news
paper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool
place.
- Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws
completely.
- The defrost water can be collected as shown in Fig.3.
- You can speed this process by placing containers of
warm water in the compartment.
Dry the compartment thoroughly.
To start up the appliance again, move the temperature control
to the original operating position.
