Defrosting
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.
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.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.

Maintenance and miscellanea
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not in use, e.g. when you are going away on summer
vacations, we suggest you take the following precautions: pull out the plug from the wall
socket; remove all food from the appliance; carefully clean the interior and all movable
parts; leave the door ajar to facilitate the air circulation in the interior so as to prevent the
formation of unpleasant odours.
Periodic cleaning
Never use metal objects for cleaning your appliance as it may get damaged.
Clean the interior and the cabinet exterior with lukewarm water and some neutral soap at
regular intervals. Every 3 to 4 months, clean the defrost water collecting tray also, and
check that the drain opening at the center of the special conveyor is unobstructed and
clean.
