Before using the appliance for the first time,
the interior and all internal accessories
should be washed with lukewarm water
and some neutral soap to remove the
typical smell of a brand-new product, then

This operation will improve the
performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.

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.

periods, take the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from

2. Remove all food.
3. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
4. Leave the door/doors open to prevent
unpleasant smells.
WARNING! If you want to keep
the appliance switched on, ask
somebody to check it once in a
while to prevent the food inside
from spoiling in case of a power
failure.
