Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before carrying out
any maintenance operation.
Defrosting
During normal operation, the evaporator in the
refrigerator compartment will gradually become
covered with frost.
This frost is a thermal insulator which inhibits cooling
and must therefore be removed, otherwise there will
be a significant reduction in cooling efficiency and an
increase in electricity consumption.
To defrost, proceed as follows:
1. Press the button in the middle of the thermostat
knob;
2. Once defrosted the refrigerator will start up agai
automatically. The water which has collected in the
tray placed under the evaporator must be
removed.
3. dry thoroughly the ice-compartment.
Never use metal objects for defrosting your
appliance as it may get damaged.
Do not use a mechanical device or any
artificial means to speed up the thawing
process other than those recommended by
the manufacturer.
Cleaning
Never use metal objects for cleaning your
appliance as it may get damaged.
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a strong
odour.
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
To guarantee a safe operation of the fridge, once a
year remove the ventilation grille at the base and
clean the air channels with a vacuum cleaner.
When the appliance is not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the
doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Changing the light bulb

the appliance and disconnect from the electricity
supply, then replace the bulb as follows:
1. unscrew the light cover securing screws.
2. unhook the moving
part as shown in the figure.
3. Replace the bulb by other with another with the
