MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operations,
including those described in this book, unplug the
appliance from the mains supply.
Cleaning the inside
Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories
with a solution of lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (one tablespoonful of soda to 4 litres of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The freezer compartment drawers can be removed for
washing. To remove the drawers, pull them out until
they reach the stop, then lift and withdraw them from
the guides. To refit the drawers, engage them in the
guides then, keeping them tilted, push them inwards.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
To achieve automatic defrosting of the refrigerator, the
compressor must cut out from time to time. If the bot-
tom of the compartment becomes covered with too
much frost, turn the thermostat knob slowly towards a
warmer setting until the compressor starts to cut out
periodically.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole (Fig. 25).

Periods of non operation
If the appliance is to be out of use for some time, turn
the main On/Off switch E to position «0», allow the ap-
pliance to defrost and thoroughly clean it. Leave the
doors ajar to allow the air to circulate and so avoid the
formation of unpleasant smells.

vided in the covers (Fig. 27).
