to transport and install the refrigerator with care so that
not to damage any refrigerant circuit parts. Nevertheless
if the refrigerant circuit has been damaged please avoid
any types of open flame or potential inflammation sources
and air the room carefully.
To avoid formation of flammable mix of gas and air in
case of refrigerant leakage, the size of the room where
the refrigerator is should correspond to the quantity of
the refrigerant used in the refrigerator. The room volume
should be 1m
3
for each 8g of R600a refrigerant in the
appliance. The quantity of the refrigerant contained in
your particular refrigerator is specified on the ratings label
inside the refrigerator.

Maintenance and care
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 recommended by the manufacturer.
How to Defrost the Refrigerator
This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is
drained to the back towards the drain pipe installed for this
purpose. Here, the heat produced by the compressor will
make it evaporate. The only thing you must do is to period-
ically check and clean the hole of the drain, which is located
behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water drains
properly.
How to Defrost the Freezer Compartment
– If the frost is more than 5 mm thick, the freezer must be
defrosted.
Proceed as follows: turn the thermostat knob to the «0»
setting. Then wrap all the frozen and fast-frozen food in
newspaper, placing it either in the refrigerator or in a cool
place. Leave the freezer door open so that the frost
thaws completely. You can speed this process by placing
containers of warm water in the compartment.
Cleaning and maintenance
Always unplug the appliance from the mains before
cleaning.
– Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odour-
less materials. To preserve these characteristics, always
use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid
the formation of odours that are difficult to remove.
– Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the
internal 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.
-If some foodstuff containing oil or butter (mayonnaise,
vegetable oil, animal fat, etc.) enters onto the refrigerator
gasket
or
plastic
inner
lining,
remove
the
impurity immediately with a neutral detergent.
– What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach
or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent-
based products.
– Dishwashable: All the removable par ts can 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 replacing them.
– What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the
back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance.
To remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully
using the appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.
– Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is
not in use for any length of time, remember to clean the
interior and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to
prevent the formation of bad odours and mould.
– As a result of thermal strain for components of a
refrigerator appliance can be heard crackling noise
that is not a defect and doesn’t affect efficiency of the
appliance. This special sound when the thermoregulator
and compressor are turned on is a normal state, which
appears during the working process of the appliance’s
electric installation.
– Replacing the lamp. The lamp for lighting the interior
of the appliance is located at the back of the lamp box.
Unscrew the burnt lamp and replace it with another lamp
of no more than 15 Watt.
