Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of
the refrigerator compartment every time the motor com-
pressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water
drains out through a trough 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. Use the special cleaner provided, which you
will find already inserted into the drain hole.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take
the following precautions:
1. disconnect the appliance from electricity supply
2. remove all food
3. defrost and clean the appliance and all accessories
4. leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant
smells.
Important! If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody
to check it once in a while to prevent the food inside from
spoiling in case of a power failure.
What to do if…
Warning! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the
mains plug from the mains socket.
