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 other tools to speed
up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
It is advisable now and then to remove the frost which forms
on the evaporator.
Take care to not use sharp objects for this purpose since they
could pierce the refrigeration circuit and permanently dam-
age the appliance.
Proper cleaning is very important in order to guarantee that
the refrigerator operates efficiently and does not consume
excess energy needlessly.
To defrost the evaporator completely, turn the thermostat
knob to “ ” (fig. 1). The water from the frost will collect in
the special tray.
When finished, dry the tray and put it back in place.
To start the appliance again, turn the thermostat knob to the
appropriate setting.

the formation of difficult to remove odours.
- Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the

with a sponge soaked in a warm water and sodium
bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If
you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use a
neutral soap.
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or
detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based
products.
- All removable parts can be cleaned by soaking them in hot
soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry them thoroughly
before replacing them.
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in
use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior
and dry thoroughly, leaving the door open to prevent the
formation of odours and mould.
- Replacing the light bulb. The bulb for lighting the interior of
the appliance is located at the back of the thermostat box.

bulb with a wattage no higher than 15 Watt, follow the
instructions illustrated in fig. 2.
Before carrying out this operation, disconnect the appliance
from the electricity (to do so, turn off the general switch in
the house or remove the plug for the appliance from the
