•
To allow the refrigerator to operate at full efficiency, periodically also clean the condenser
on the rear with a brush or a vacuum cleaner.
•
Also make a periodic check on the tray above the compressor and clean it if necessary.
Switching off the refrigerator
If the refrigerator is to be out of use for some time, turn the thermostat knob to 0 (stop). Then
empty the compartments, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains, and once it has
defrosted dry any residual moisture which has collected. Leave the door ajar to prevent the
humidity and trapped air from creating unpleasant smells.
Replacing the refrigerator light bulb
Before changing the bulb, make sure that the light has not stopped working simply because the
part inside the lamp socket has become loose. In all cases, whether you wish to check that the
socket is connected correctly or change the bulb, for safety reasons the plug must be removed
from the power socket.
1. First, unplug the power cord; remove the plastic
light cover.
2. Remove the old bulb by unscrewing it by hand in a
counter clockwise direction.
3. Insert a new bulb (10W) by turning it manually
clockwise, refit the cover and switch the appliance
back on.
Practical advice for saving energy
•
Install the refrigerator in a cool, well ventilated place, protected against direct sunlight and
well away from heat sources.
•
Do not place hot foods in the refrigerator or freezer sections. Wait for foods and drinks to
cool to room temperature before placing them on the shelves;
•
Open the door(s) as infrequently and for as short a time as possible to prevent the
compartments from warming up too much;
•
Clean the condenser (rear of the refrigerator) periodically to prevent the appliance from
losing efficiency;
•
If the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, it is best to empty it and switch it
off;
•
Thaw frozen foods in the body of the refrigerator to exploit the cold stored in the frozen
foods, which will be transferred to the refrigerator if this procedure is used.
