Conexión eléctrica
Antes de enchufar el aparato, asegurarse de que la
tensión y la frecuencia indicadas en la tarjeta
matrícula, correspondan a las de la instalación
doméstica. Se admite una oscilación del 6% sobre
la tensión nominal.
Para el funcionamiento a tensiones distintas, habrá
que utilizar un autotransformador de potencia
adecuada. Asegurarse de que la toma de corriente y
el enchufe sean compatibles entre sí sin tener que
interponer reducciones ladrones o adaptadores
varios. Si fuera necesario, cambiar la toma de la
instalación de la casa.
Es indispensable conectar el aparato a una toma
de tierra eficaz.
Para ello el enchufe del cable de alimentación está
dotado de un adecuado contacto adecuado. Si la
toma de corriente de la instalación doméstica no
estuviera conectada a tierra, conectar el aparato a
una instalación de tierra, conforme a las leyes en
vigor, consultando para ello con un técnico
especializado.
El fabricante declina toda responsabilidad en el
caso que esta norma no sea respetada.
Atención
Se debe
poder desenchufar el aparato; por lo tanto
una vez efectuada la instalación es necesario que el
enchufe no quede escondido

Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator
of the refrigerator compartment every 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 compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water
overflowing and dripping onto the food inside.
Use the special cleaner provided, which you will
find already inserted into the drain hole.
The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with a plastic scraper, whenever the
thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this
operation it is not necessary to switch off the power
supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out
as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
thermostat knob to the «O» setting;
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
3. leave the door open;
4. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly and refit the plug;
5. turn the thermostat knob back to the required
setting or replace the plug in the power socket.
After two or three hours, reload the previously
removed food into the compartment.
Important:
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a maechanical 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.
Interior light
If the light does not come on when the door is open,
check that it is screwed into place properly. If it still
does not light up, change the bulb.
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment
can be reached as shown in the figure.
The rating is shown on the light bulb cover.

MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
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.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent
unpleasant smells.
