Precautions And Tips; Troubleshooting - Indesit CA 55 Série Mode D'emploi

• The back of the appliance may collect dust which can be
removed by delicately using the hose of a vacuum cleaner set
on medium power. The appliance must be switched off and the
plug must be pulled out before cleaning the appliance.
Avoiding mould and unpleasant odours
• The appliance is manufactured with hygienic materials which are
odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to
prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of
time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is
ducted to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet
( see diagram ) where the heat produced by the compressor
causes it to evaporate.
It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so that the
water can flow out easily.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out
the plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.
Access the light bulb (A) by unscrewing the fixing screw (B)
which is located at the back of the lampcover, as shown ( see
diagram ). Replace it with a similar light bulb, the power of which
should not exceed 15W.
