MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance operation, al-
ways disconnect the plug from the wall socket.
Defrosting
The frost should be removed with the special plastic
scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds 4
mm. During this operation it is not necessary to cut-off
the power or to remove the food from the freezer.
Do not use metal tools to remove frost so as to
avoid seriously damaging the appliance.
If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary to
carry out complete defrosting as following:
set the knob (A) to «
O
» position or unplug the appli-
ance from the mains socket;
wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and
place the food packages in a cool place;
remove all the drawers from the appliance, except the
bottom drawer. This drawer has a closed bottom: pull
it out slightly so that it can collect the defrosting water.
To speed up defrosting, a container filled with hot -
not boiling - water may be placed inside the appli-
ance. Do not use heating devices, such as electric
fires for example.
When defrosting is completed, empty the drawer and
dry the interior thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the desired position or
replace the plug in the socket. After letting the appli-
ance to run for two or three hours on the quick-freeze
setting, it is ready again for storing frozen food.
Periodical cleaning
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm wa-
ter and sodium bicarbonate.
Clean cabinet outer surfaces with a silicone-wax
spray.
The condenser and compressor should be cleaned
using a brush or a vacuum cleaner. This latter opera-
tion will maintain the appliance’s excellent standards
of performance and save energy.
Idle periods
During periods when the appliance is not used, you
should take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food from the appliance;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door slightly open, thus letting air circulate
and preventing the formation of mould and unpleasant
smells.
SOMETHING NOT WORKING
If the appliance is not functioning properly check that:
the plug is firmly in the wall socket and the mains
power switch is on;there is no power failure;
the control knob is in the right position.
Furthermore:
if the appliance seems too noisy check that the sides
are not touching furniture that can transmit or amplify
a noise or a vibration. Also, check that the piping of
the refrigerant system does not vibrate.
If your appliance is still not working properly after
making the above checks, contact your local dealer or
the nearest service center.
To obtain fast service, it is essential that when you ap-
ply for it you specify the model and serial number of
your appliance which can be found inside the appli-
ance at the bottom on the left hand side.
