Please read it before installing or using the appliance. Please retain the instruction book for future reference. [. . . ] If the ambient temperature is high, the thermostat knob is on the coldest setting (higher numbers) and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice to form on the evaporator. If this happens, turn the knob to a warmer setting (lower numbers) to allow automatic defrosting and so a saving in electricity consumption. Do not place warm foods inside the appliance. Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of your appliance, always clean. Maintenance Unplug the appliance before carrying out any maintenance operation. Warning This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its cooling unit maintenance and recharging must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians. Defrosting Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chamber in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the refrigerator. Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases, it needs more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the door of the frozen food compartment to open, possibly the door can be broken. At this type of appliance defrosting fresh food compartment is automatic without any external intervention. The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted temperature of the fresh food compartment increases and defrosting occurs. After defrosting the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system. When ice coating is so thick that it can not be removed with the plastic scraper, the frozen food compartment has to be defrosted (generally 2-3 times a year). Take the foods out of the frozen and fresh food compartment, wrap them into some layers of paper or cloth. Put them to a possible cool place while defrosting. Break the circuit of the appliance and leave the doors of frozen and fresh food compartment open. Continuously blot off the defrosting water by a soft cloth or sponge. After defrosting wipe the surfaces, apply voltage to the appliance and put the foods back to their places. It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest position of the thermostatic control so that it can reach the proper storing temperature as soon as possible. When the appliance is not in use Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply. Empty all foods and clean the appliance, leaving the doors ajar to prevent unpleasant smells. How to change the bulb Should the light fail to work you can change it as below: Break the circuit of the appliance. Unscrew the plate screw fixing the lamp cover, then take the lamp cover off in the direction of arrow and the bulb can be changed. [. . . ] avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight. For safety reasons, minimum ventilation must be as shown in Fig. Attention: keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction. It is necessary that the niche is provided with a conduct of venti-lation having the following dimensions: Depth: 50 mm Width: 540 mm The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is located inside the cabinet on the left hand wall.
