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, during normal use. The defrost wa-
ter drains out through a trough into a special contain-
er at the back of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water
drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compart-
ment 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 the freezer

A certain amount of frost will always form on the freez-
er shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
Important! About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set
the Temperature regulator toward higher settings , in
order to build up sufficient chill reserve for the
interruption in operation.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet
hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.

What to do if...

Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket.

3. Leave the door
open and insert
the plastic scraper
in the appropriate
seating at the bot-
tom centre, plac-
ing a basin under-
neath to collect
the defrost water
In order to speed up the defrosting process,
place a pot of warm water in the freezer compart-
ment. In addition, remove pieces of ice that break
away before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thor-
oughly and keep the scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
6. After two or three hours, reload the previously re-
moved food into the compartment.
Warning! 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.

Periods of non-operation

When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from electricity sup-
ply
• remove all food
• defrost 10)
and clean the appliance and all accesso-
ries
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleasant
smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check
it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoil-
ing in case of a power failure.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must
do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.
