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.
Cleaning the inside
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 of the refrigerator
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, turn the thermostat knob slowly
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.

MAINTENANCE

If this appliance featuring magnetic door seals is
to replace an older appliance having a spring
lock (latch) on the door or lid, be sure to make
that spring lock unusable before you discard the
old appliance. This will prevent it from becoming
a death-trap for a child.
Location
The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc.
For buiding into the kitchen units follow the special
ÒBuilding-inÓ instructions given.
Electrical connection
Before plugging in, ensure that the voltage and
frequency shown on the serial number plate
correspond to your domestic power supply. Voltage
can vary by ±6% of the rated voltage.
For operation with different voltages, a suitably sized
auto-transformer must be used.
The appliance must be earthed.
The power supply cable plug is provided with a
contact for this purpose.
If the domestic power supply socket is not earthed,
connect the appliance to a separate earth in
compliance with current regulations, consulting a
specialist technician.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility if
the above safety precautions are not observed.
This appliance complies with the following
E.E.C. Directives:
- 87/308 EEC
of 2/6/87 relative to radio interference
suppression.
- 73/23 EEC
of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and
subsequent modifications;
- 89/336 EEC
of 3.5.89 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive) and subsequent
modifications.
Important
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from
the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be
easily accessible after installation
