MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operations, including those described in this book, unplug the appliance from the mains supply.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
Clean the inside of the appliance and the accesso- ries with a solution of lukewarm water and bicar- bonate of soda (one tablespoonful of soda to 4 litres of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The freezer compartment drawers can be removed for washing. To remove the drawers, pull them out until they reach the stop, then lift and withdraw them from the guides. To refit the drawers, engage them in the guides then, keeping them tilted, push them inwards.
Defrosting
To achieve automatic defrosting of the refrigerator, the compressor must cut out from time to time. If the bottom of the compartment becomes covered with too much frost,select the temperature towards a warmer setting until the compressor starts to cut out periodically.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator compartment channel to prevent the water overflowing and dripping onto the food inside. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Important:
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a maechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
