Tips on Saving Energy
Keeping Your Appliance in Shape
GB
7
- Install it well
This means that the appliance should be installed
away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well-
ventilated room .
- Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one
of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not
only consume a great deal of energy but will neither
improve or lengthen the storage life of the food. Ex-
cessively low temperature m ay in fact spoil vegeta-
bles, c old m eats and cheese.
- Do not overfill
Remember that proper storage of food requires good
air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent
this circulation and overwork the com pressor.
- Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary;
remember that every time you open the door most of the
cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and c onsume
energy, to restore the c orrect tem perature.
- Check the door gaskets
Keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit c losely
against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature signific antly; allow food to cool to room tem -
perature before storing.
Defrosting
WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.
Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed
up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-
ommended by the manufacturer.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
This applianc e defrosts autom atic ally and the water is
drained to the back towards the drain pipe installed for this
purpose (fig. 1). Here, the heat produc ed by the c ompres-
sor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to
periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, whic h
is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water
drains properly.

How to Defrost the Freezer Compartment
- Every so often, rem ove the frost with the scraper provided
with the appliance (do not use knives or metal objec ts).
- If the frost is m ore than 5 mm thick, the freezer m ust be
defrosted.
Proceed as follows: turn the thermostat knob
(
B) to the ·
setting . Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in
newspaper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a c ool
place. Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws
completely(fig. 2). You can speed this proc ess by placing
containers of warm water in the c ompartment.

Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before
cleaning.
- Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless
materials. To preserve these c haracteristics, always use
sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the
formation of odours that are difficult to rem ove.
- Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the in-
ternal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge
soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solu-
tion, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have
any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.
- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach
or detergents containing am m onia. Never use solvent-
based products.
- Dishwashable: All the removable parts c an be cleaned
by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If you own a
dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the dishwasher.
Remember to dry thoroughly before replac ing them.
- What about the bac k panel? Dust may deposit on the
back panel and affec t the proper running of the appli-
ance. To remove dust, vac uum away the dust very care-
fully using the appropriate vac uum cleaner ac c essory.
- Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not
in use for any length of time, remember to clean the inte-
rior and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to prevent
the formation of bad odours and mould.
- Interior refrigerator walls are c overed with spec ial anti-
bacterial layer, containing silver. This antibacterial layer
maintains hygienic environment and prevents from un-
pleasant odor. Antibac terial effect remains after repeated
cleaning with warm water.
