odour free. In order to maintain an odour free refrigerator and to
prevent the formation of stains, food must always be covered or
sealed properly.
• If you want to switch the appliance off for an extended period of
time, clean the inside and leave the doors open.
Defrosting the appliance
!
Follow the instructions below.
Do not use objects with sharp or pointed edges to defrost the appliance
as these may damage the refrigeration circuit beyond repair.
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator has an automatic defrosting function: water is ducted
to the back of the appliance by a special discharge outlet (
see
diagram ) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to
evaporate. It is necessary to clean the discharge hole regularly so
that the water can flow out easily.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
If the frost layer is greater than 5 mm, it is necessary to defrost
manually:
1. The day before defrosting, press the SUPER
FREEZE button (rapid-freezing; “
SF
” appears on the
freezer display and the corresponding LED lights
up) to further cool the food.
2. The function is automatically disabled after 24
hours, or it may be disabled at any moment by
pressing the SUPER FREEZE button again. Press
the ON/OFF button to switch off the appliance.
3. Wrap frozen foods in newspaper and place them in
another freezer or in a cool place.
4. Leave the door open until the frost has melted
completely. This can be made easier by placing
containers with lukewarm water in the freezer
compartment.
5. Certain appliances are fitted with the DRAIN
SYSTEM to lead the water outside: let the water flow
into a container (
see diagram).
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb in the refrigerator compartment, pull out the
plug from the electrical socket. Follow the instructions below.
Access the light bulb by removing the cover as indicated in the
diagram. Replace it with a similar light bulb within the power range
indicated on the cover.
