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
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is au-
tomatic.
The water that forms flows into a recipient on
the compressor and evaporates. This recip-
ient cannot be removed.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on
the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer rea-
ches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions
below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket or
switch off the appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several
layers of newspaper and put it in a cool
place
• leave the door open and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the
bottom centre, placing a basin underneath
to collect the defrost water
• when defrosting is completed, dry the in-
terior thoroughly and keep the scraper for
future use
• turn the thermostat knob back to the re-
quired setting or replace the plug in the
power socket
• after two or three hours, reload the previ-
ously removed food into the compartment.
It is recommended to operate the appli-
ance at the highest position of the ther-
mostatic control for some hours so that
it can reach the sufficient storing tem-
perature as soon as possible.
Important! 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. A
temperature rise of the frozen food packs,
during defrosting, may shorten their safe
storage life.
