e
• The door balconies and shelves can be
removed: tap them upwards with your fist,
first on one side and then on the other in the
insertion zone.
• Remove any ice thicker than 3-5 mm. Do not
use sharp objects or spray products.
Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator compartment
The refrigerator/freezer compartment does not
require defrosting, as any ice which forms on the
refrigeration plate will melt when the
compressor is switched off. The defrosting
process is automatic.
Defrost water is channelled directly into the
dedicated pan on the back of the appliance,
which lets it evaporate by means of the heat
generated by the compressor.
Interior lighting
Interior lighting, if damaged, must be repaired
by Technical Service only.
What to do if...
The appliance does not work:
• Make sure that the appliance is plugged in
and that the main switch is turned on.
The compressor starts to function too often or
functions continuously:
• The room temperature is too high.
• The door is being opened too often or for
too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The freezer is loaded with too many fresh
foods.
• Check that sufficient air can circulate around
the sensor on the right-hand side of the
refrigerator compartment.
• Check that the back of the refrigerator is
properly ventilated and that the condenser is
not too dirty.
Excessive ice or condensation has built up inside
the refrigerator compartment:
• The door is being opened too often or for
too long.
• Hot foods have been placed inside the
refrigerator compartment.
• The foodstuffs or containers are in contact
with the rear wall.
• The door seal is damaged or dirty. Clean or
replace it.
The refrigerator compartment is not sufficiently
cold:
• The thermostat is set at too high a
temperature.
• The door is being opened too often or for
too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The room temperature is too high.
The temperature inside the refrigerator
compartment is too cold and the foodstuffs are
freezing:
• The thermostat is set at too low a
temperature.
• Foodstuffs not contained in suitable
containers or bags.
• Fruit and vegetables might be too wet.
• Foodstuffs placed against the rear wall of
the refrigerator compartment.
Temperature inside freezer compartment not
low enough to freeze foods properly:
• The thermostat is set at too high a
temperature.
• The door is being opened too often or for
too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The door seal is damaged or dirty. Clean or
replace it.
• The food to be frozen contains large
quantities of sugar.
Excessive ice has built up inside the freezer
compartment:
• The thermostat is set at too low a
temperature.
• The room temperature is too high.
• The door is being opened too often or for
too long.
• The door is not closing/sealing properly.
• The door seal is damaged or dirty. Clean or
replace it.
• Hot foods have been placed inside the
freezer compartment.
Doors are hard to open just after closing:
• If you attempt to open the door again just
after closing it (especially the freezer door),
considerable strength is required. This is due
to the vacuum created by the cooling of the
warm air which has entered the freezer.
Occasional presence of frost inside the
freezer compartment is normal.
Do not use electrical appliances (e.g.
hair dryers) or sprays for defrosting, the
plastic parts could be damaged.
