Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evap-
orator of the refrigerator compartment every
time the motor compressor stops, during normal
use. The defrost water drains out through a
drain hole 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.
Defrosting of the freezer
The freezer compartment of this model, on the
other hand, is a "no frost" type. This means that
there is no buildup of frost when it is in opera-
tion, neither on the internal walls nor on the
foods.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous
circulation of cold air inside the compartment,
driven by an automatically controlled fan.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long peri-
ods, take the following precautions:
• disconnect the appliance from electrici-
ty supply
• remove all food
• defrost (if foreseen) and clean the appliance
and all accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent unpleas-
ant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody to
check it once in a while to prevent the food in-
side from spoiling in case of a power failure.
What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some smaller
but annoying trouble can often occur, which
does not require calling a technician out. In the
following chart information is given about them
to avoid unnecessary charges on service.
Important! The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (compressor and
circulating sound). This not means a trouble, but
a normal operation.
Important! The appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of compressor
does not mean being no current. That is why
you must not touch the electrical parts of the
appliance before breaking the circuit.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The compressor operates
continually The Temperature Regulator may be
set incorrectly Set a warmer temperature
The door does not close tightly or it
is not shut properly Check if the doors close well and the
gaskets are undamaged and clean
The door has been opened too fre-
quently Do not leave the door open longer
than necessary
Food placed in the appliance was
too warm Allow food to cool to room tempera-
ture before storing
