Hints

Saving Energy
Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed.
See the section ŇInstallationÓ. When installed
correctly the cabinet will consume less energy.
Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long
periods or opening the doors too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat
knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and
the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a
warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic
defrosting and so a saving in electricity
consumption.
Do not place warm foods inside the appliance.
Allow warm foods to cool first.
Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille
on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean.
Hints for refrigeration
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the
refrigerator and do cover or wrap up the food,
particularly if it has a strong smell.
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are some
useful hints:
Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad
compartment, this being the coldest spot in the
refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for one
or two days at the most.
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should be
well covered and can be stored on any of the glass
shelves.
Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer/s.
Butter & cheese: these should be placed in special
airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or
polythene bags to keep out as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a top and should be
stored in the bottle rack on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.
Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling
unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only
be carried out by authorised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in
form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the
refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it
reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature
increases, it needs more energy, at a certain
thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen
food compartment to open, possibly the door can
be broken.
At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food
compartment is automatic without any external
intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of
compressor at regular intervals for more or less
time - during this cooling is interrupted -
temperature of the fresh food compartment
increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting
the thermostatic control restarts operation of the
system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet
into the evaporative tray maintained on the top of
compressor and evaporates due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of melting
water coming during defrosting regularly.
If it is clogged the melting water gathered can
cause earlier failure as it can go to the
insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied
pipe scraper that can be seen in the figure. The
pipe scraper has to be stored in the outlet.
Occasionally check defrost water outlet not to be
clogged up.
