Defrosting the fridge
The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the compressor stops. Frost formation can be prevented by:
·not putting warm foodstuff inside the cabinet.
·avoiding frequently opening the door or keeping it open too long.
·not placing foodstuffs directly against the cold cooling plate.
To Change the Light Bulb
The light is switched on automatically when the door is opened. Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the power plug from the outlet.
Fold the grille backward by unsnapping the front edge.
Use a bulb of the same type, E14 socket, maximum rating of 25 W.
When replacing the light bulb, use a bulb of the same type as the original one. The glass must measure at least 18 mm in diameter at the socket. This will ensure close fitting of the bulb against the rubber seal in the socket.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply. Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
If the appliance is left on, e.g. while on holiday, ask somebody to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
