ENGLISH
Initial power on
Caution! Before inserting the
power plug in to the outlet and
switching on the cabinet for the
first time, leave the appliance
standing upright for at least 4
hours. This will assure a sufficient
amount of time for the oil to
return to the compressor.
Otherwise the compressor or
electronic components may
sustain damage.
Periodic cleaning
Caution! Do not pull, move or
damage any pipes and/or
cables inside the cabinet.
Caution! Do not damage the
cooling system.
Caution! When moving the
cabinet, lift it by the front edge to
avoid scratching the floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with
lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe
clean to ensure they are clean and free
from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and
the compressor at the back of the
appliance with a brush.
This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
energy consumption.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long
periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity
supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Warning! If the cabinet will be
kept on, ask somebody to check
it once in a while to prevent the
food inside from spoiling in case
of a power failure.
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 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.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free. This
means that there is no build up of frost
when it is in operation, neither on the
internal walls nor on the foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the
