							Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retail-
er;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the
shortest possible time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation.
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit; maintenance and recharging must
therefore only be carried out by authorized technicians.
Periodic cleaning
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
• clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm water and some neutral soap.
• regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean and free from
debris.
• rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes and/or cables inside the cabinet.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes
to clean the interior as this will damage the surface and leave a strong odour.
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will improve the performance of the appliance
and save electricity consumption.
Take care of not to damage the cooling system.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is recommended that the outer casing of
this appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a little washing-up liquid added.
After cleaning, reconnect the equipment to the mains supply.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment ev-
ery time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a trough into a special container at the back of the appliance, over the motor com-
pressor, where it evaporates.Care and cleaning
11
 
						

							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.
Defrosting the freezer
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer shelves and around the top com-
partment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a thickness of about 3-5 mm.
To remove the frost, follow the instructions below:
• pull out the plug from the wall socket or switch off the appliance
• remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place
• remove the freezer drawers
• put insulating material around the drawers, e.g. blankets or newspapers.
Defrosting can be accelerated by placing bowls
with hot water (not boiling) inside the freezer.
• Loosen the drainage channel from its resting
position, push it in according to the illustration
and place it in the bottom freezer drawer
where water can collect
• carefully scrape off the ice when it starts to
thaw. Use a wood or a plastic scraper
• when all the ice has melted, clean and wipe the
cabinet dry, then put the drainage channel
back in place.
• switch on the cabinet and replace the frozen foodstuff.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest position of the thermo-
static control for some hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing temperature
as soon as possible.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the thawing process
other than those recommended by the manufacturer. A temperature rise of the frozen food
packs, during defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.

							WHAT TO DO IF…
CAUTION!
Before troubleshooting, disconnect the power supply.
Only a qualified electrician or competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in
this manual.
There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).
ProblemPossible causeSolution
The appliance is noisy.The appliance is not supported
properly.Check if the appliance stands sta-
ble (all the four feet should be on
the floor).
The compressor operates
continually.The Temperature regulator may
be set incorrectly.Set a warmer temperature.
 The door is not closed correctly.Refer to Closing the door.
 The door has been opened too
frequently.Do not keep the door open longer
than necessary.
 The product temperature is too
high.Let the product temperature de-
crease to room temperature be-
fore storage.
 The room temperature is too
high.Decrease the room temperature.
 The FROSTMATIC function is
switched on.Refer to FROSTMATIC function.
 The COOLMATIC function is
switched on.Refer to COOLMATIC function.
Water flows on the rear
plate of the refrigerator.During the automatic defrosting
process, frost defrosts on the
rear plate.This is correct.
Water flows into the re-
frigerator.The water outlet is clogged.Clean the water outlet.
 Products prevent that water
flows into the water collector.Make sure that products do not
touch the rear plate.
Water flows on the
ground.The melting water outlet does
not flow in the evaporative tray
above the compressor.Attach the melting water outlet
to the evaporative tray.
There is too much frost
and ice.Products are not wrapped prop-
erly.Wrap the products better.
 The door is not closed correctly.Refer to Closing the door.
 The Temperature regulator may
be set incorrectly.Set a higher temperature.

INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Read the Safety Information carefully for your safety and correct operation of the appli-
ance before installing the appliance.
Positioning
Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the cli-
mate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
Climate classAmbient temperature

Technical data15
 
						

							Location
The appliance should be installed well away from
sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct
sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best
performance, if the appliance is positioned below
an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance
between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit
must be at least 100 mm . Ideally, however, the
appliance should not be positioned below over-
hanging wall units. Accurate levelling is ensured
by one or more adjustable feet at the base of the
cabinet.
WARNING!
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.
Electrical Connection
CAUTION!
Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person.
