14What to do if…
Defrosting 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 drain hole into a special container at the back of the appli- ance, over the motor compressor, where it evapo- rates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water over- flowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take the following precautions:
1.disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2.remove all food
3.defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4.leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
WHAT TO DO IF…
During operation of the appliance some smaller but annoying trouble can often occur, which does not require calling a technician out. In the following chart information is given about them to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
The operation of the appliance goes with certain sounds (compressor and circulating sound). This not means a trouble, but a normal operation.
The appliance operates discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor does not mean be- ing no current. That is why you must not touch the electrical parts of the appliance before breaking the circuit.
