CARE AND CLEANING
Caution! Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorized
technicians.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evapo-
rator 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 wa-
ter drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator com-
partment channel to prevent the water overflowing
and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special
cleaner provided, which you will find already inser-
ted into the drain hole.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the
freezer shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:

It is recommended to operate the appliance
at the highest position of the thermostatic
control for some hours so that it can reach
the sufficient storing temperature as soon as
possible.
Important! Never use sharp metal tools to scrape
off frost from the evaporator as you could damage
it. Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other than
those recommended by the manufacturer. A
temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
