the thermostat and let the appliance work for 3/4 hours with the thermostat at the coldest
position or with fast freeze inserted.
Shoud the layer of frost in the freezing compartment exceed 5 mm, it is necessary to
defrost to keep the performance of the refrigerator unchanged.
DRIP ADJUSTMENT
250 and 300 litres Single Door. For outside temperatures above +25°C it is advisable to
put the drip in position B (fig. 5) in order to keep the deep frozen foods area colder. Put
the drip to position C (fig. 6) for temperatures less than +25°C.
CLEANING
To prevent the formation of unpleasant smells, it is recommended that the refrigerator be
cleaned periodically, at least two or three times a year.
a) Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the
power supply by pulling out the plug (it is not enough to set the thermostat control to “0” - “I”).
b) Remove all food and ice cubes from the refrigerator.
c) Wait until the frost has melted off the evaporator.
d) Clean the interior of the refrigerator using lukewarm water into which have been dissol-
ved one or two spoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda, rinse and dry. IMPORTANT: do not use
detergents, abrasives or soaps.
e) Before putting food back into the refrigerator, let it work for at least one hour.
When the refrigerator is to be out of use for a long period, after a thorough cleaning it
should be left unplugged and with its doors partially open.
SERVICING
For any repairs use only Service Centres recommended by the manufacturer and insist
that only original spares be used. Non-observance of the above could prejudice the safety
of the appliance. If your refrigerator does not work, or if it does not work properly, check
these points before making a Service call.
1) Is power getting to the socket to which the refrigerator is connected? Try it with a lamp.
2) Is the connecting plug not plugged into the socket? Plug it in.
3) Is the thermostat perhaps at position “0”? Turn it to position 3.
4) Have you let too much frost accumulate on the evaporator (more than 4 to 5 mm.)?
Defrost it (see “Defrosting”).
5) Has the food been badly placed inside the refrigerator, hindering free circulation of air?
6) Can air circulate freely around the condenser behind the refrigerator? Move it further
away from the wall.
