FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Place the fresh food to be frozen on the freezer compartment rack. Avoid direct contact with already frozen food. To freeze the quantity of food shown on the rating plate, rotate the thermostat knob towards a slightly warmer position just before fresh food insertion (for example, in case of numbers, if chosen set value is 4 move it back to 3,5). After 24 hours the food will be frozen. Move back the thermostat knob to the previous position.

REPLACING THE LIGHT BULB

Before replacing the bulb, remove the power plug from the mains socket. To remove the light bulb turn anticlockwise as shown in figure.

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer should be defrosted once or twice a year or when excessive frost is present (3 mm thickness). The formation of frost is normal. The amount and rate at which frost accumulates depends on room conditions and how often the door is open.

To defrost the unit, switch off the product and take out all food. Leave the freezer door open to allow the frost to melt. For appliances in figure only pull out the defrost water drain and place a container under the drain. When the operation is completed, put back the defrost water drain. Clean the inside of the freezer. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Switch the appliance back on and store the food inside.

DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

Refrigerator compartment defrosting is completely automatic.

Droplets of water on the rear wall inside the refrigerator compartment indicate that the automatic defrost phase is in progress. The defrost water is automatically run into a drain hole and collected in a container, where it evaporates.
