Defrosting

Refrigerator

The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the
compressor stops.The water is discharged, via the pipe, into
a tray located at the back of the appliance above the
compressor, where it evaporates.

Important

To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge,
periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of
the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator
compartment behind the fruit and vegetable drawer. Use the
defrost cleaner provided which you will find already
inserted into the discharge hole.

Remember to wash the defrost cleaner in hot soapy water
at regular intervals. Dry throughly before replacing.

Freezer

Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need
to manually defrost your appliance as this will be carried out
automatically.

out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the
ELECTRICITY supply.

If you fit your own plug,the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with
the markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:

terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter

«E» or the earth symbol or coloured green and
yellow.

Bottle holder

Place the bottles (with the opening facing front) in
the pre-positioned shelf.

If the shelf is positioned horizontally, place only
closed bottles.

This bottle holder shelf can be tilted in order to
store previously opened bottles.

To obtain this result, pull the shelf up so it can
rotate upwards and be placed on the next higher
level.

Humidity control

The glass shelf incorporates a device with slits
(adjustable by means of a sliding lever),which makes
it possible to regulate the temperature in the
vegetable drawer(s).

Close the slots to obtain a warmer temperature and
greater humidity.

Open the slots to obtain a cooler temperature and
less humidity.

Positioning the door shelves

To permit storage of food packages of various sizes,
the door shelves can be adjusted in height.To make
these adjustments proceed as follows:

Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the
arrows until it comes off,then reposition as
required.

Air recycling

The refrigerator compartment is equipped with a
special D.A.C.(Dynamic Air Cooling) fan which can
be turned on with the switch (fig. 1).The green light,
when on, means that the fan is working.

It is suggested that the fan (D.A.C.) be used when
the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C .

This device allows for rapid cooling of foods and a
more uniform temperature in the compartment.
