Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
Before proceeding with any cleaning or defrosting operations, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains (by setting the appliance ON/OFF knob “B” to the OFF position and then unplugging it). Should you fail to do this, the appliance may go into alarm mode. WARNING: this alarm is not a sign of any anomaly. To return to normal operating mode, turn the appliance off and back on again by turning the appliance ON/OFF knob “B”.
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec- ommended by the manufacturer.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
This appliance defrosts automatically, and the water is ducted to the back of the appliance by a special outlet (fig. 3) where the heat produced by the compressor makes it evaporate. The only operation to be performed on a regular basis is to control that the outlet water flows freely. Clean the outlet hole with the special cleaning brush.
How to defrost the freezer compartment
-Remove the frost from time to time with the aid of the special scraper provided (do not use knives or metal objects).
-If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, then you must defrost the freezer completely. Proceed as follows: one day before enabling the SUPER FREEZE function in the
Wrap all frozen foods in newspaper and place them either in another refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the door open, so as to allow all the frost to melt completely, helping it along with containers filled with lukewarm water.
Clean and dry thoroughly before restarting the appliance.
Remember that the motor will not start immediately, but rather after approximately 8 minutes.

HOLIDAY FUNCTION. Mould and bad odours forming inside your unused fridge when you go on holiday need no longer be a problem: just enable the Holiday function (from the display). This way, with limited energy consumption, the temperature of the refrigerator compartment is kept at around 12°C (you can store your
products in it, for example) and the freezer is operated at its minimum setting, which is essential for food preservation.
Cleaning and maintenance of the parts
Before you clean the refrigerator, turn the appliance ON/OFF knob “B” to the OFF setting; only unplug the appliance once the word OFF is displayed in both the fridge and freezer compartments.
-Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation of odours that are difficult to remove.
-Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.
-What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based products.
-All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them.
-When the appliance is left unused for an extended amount of time. If you decide to switch your appliance off during the summer months, clean it on the inside and leave the doors open.
-Replacing the light bulb.
When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment unplug the unit from the power supply and chang the used lamp with another one of not more than 15 W.
