Inner door reversal
Using a screwdriver release bracket (1) by
pressing on the internal spring and withdraw it
from its seat together with the door;
remove plug (2) and fit it in the hole left open on
the opposite side;
turn the door through 180°, remove the bracket
(1) and refit it on the opposite side. Refit the door
and insert the top pin and bottom bracket (1),
pushing it into place.
To ensure correct storage of food, the door is
fitted with a simple spring device which holds it
in the open position until it is properly closed.
Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator 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 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.
The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the thickness of the frost
exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not
necessary to switch off the power supply or to
remove the foodstuffs.
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.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on
the inner liner, complete defrosting should be
carried out as follows:
pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
thermostat knob to the «O» setting;
remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
leave the door open, place a basin on the top
shelf of the refrigerator compartment, under the
drain hole, remove the plug as shown in the
figure;
when defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly and refit the plug;
keep the scraper for future use;
turn the thermostat knob back to the required
setting or replace the plug in the power socket.

After two or three hours, reload the previously
removed food into the compartment.
Important:
A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten
their safe storage life.
