Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can

be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room

temperature, depending on the time available for this

operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly

from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for

the production of ice-cubes.

Fill these trays with water, then put them in the freezer

compartment.

Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays

from the freezer.

Freezer compartment defrosting

The air humidity that penetrates inside the appliance

when opening its door, accumulates on the evaporator

and particularly on its upper part, thus creating a layer

of frost. To avoid excessive formation of frost do not

leave the door open more than necessary.

The formation of a thin layer of frost (as for example

on the front edge of the freezer) does not require com-

plete defrosting. Eliminate this layer periodically using

a plastic scraper (do not use knives or sharp objects).

If a thick layer has formed it will be necessary to carry

out a complete defrosting as follows:

1. Take out all the frozen food and wrap it in newspa-

pers placing it in a container (basin or paper box,

etc.) in a cool place until the cleaning operations

have been completed.

2. Set the thermostat knob on «

» = stopped.

3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.

4. Do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp ob-

jects. Do not use a heat diffuser or spray.

5. Eliminate the water which formed during defrosting

by means of a sponge or cloth.

6. Clean inside using a normal detergent for domestic

use.

7. After cleaning, dry properly inside.

8. After completing the operations, turn the thermo-

stat knob to 5-6 and leave it on this setting for 3-4

hours. After this period set the knob to a normal

position (medium).

9. Place the frozen food in the appliance again.

Refrigerator defrosting

Refrigerator defrosting is completely automatic. The

defrost water drains out through a trough into a spe-

cial container provided on top of the compressor

which is located at the back of the appliance, where it

evaporates.

Important

We particularly recommend the periodic cleaning of

the defrost water drain. Use the special cleaner pro-

vided already inserted into the discharge hole

(Fig.

13).
