4.2 MANUALLY DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
• Turn the thermostat dial to the OFF position and leave the freezer
compartment door open.
• Transfer food items, the ice tray and the shelf from the freezer
compartment to the refrigerator compartment.
• Clean the freezer compartment and wipe up melted ice with a cloth.
• After defrosting, turn the thermostat dial back to its original position.
NOTE: To prevent damage to the walls of the freezer compartment, do
not use sharp objects to remove ice or to separate packs of food.
4.3 WHEN NOT IN USE
• Power failure: In the event of a power cut, food can be preserved
inside the refrigerator for several hours, even in summer. While the
power is off, you should open the door as infrequently as possible
and avoid placing any more fresh food in the refrigerator.
• Long-term non-use: Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, then leave
the door open to prevent odours from developing.
• Moving: Before moving the refrigerator, remove all the food from
inside and secure the glass partitions, vegetable holder, freezing
compartment drawers etc. with tape. Raise the levelling feet, close
the door and secure it with tape. During moving, do not lay the
refrigerator upside down or horizontally, or subject it to vibration. Do
not tilt the refrigerator by more than 45º. Do not lift the refrigerator by
the door or hinge when moving it.
Let the refrigerator run continuously after you turn it back on. Try to avoid
turning the refrigerator on and off during normal use, as this can affect
the refrigerator’s service life.
