4.3 Defrosting
Defrosting the refrigerator/freezer
compartments
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 channeled directly into the
dedicated pan on the back of the
appliance, which lets it evaporate by
means of the heat generated by the
compressor.
4.4 Interior lighting
Interior lighting, if damaged, must be
repaired by Technical Service only.
4.5 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 freezer 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.
CAUTION
• Do not use electrical appliances (e.g.
hair dryers) or sprays for defrosting, the
plastic parts could be damaged.
NOTE:
Occasional presence of frost
inside the freezer compartment is
normal.
WARNING
• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from
the mains before cleaning or
maintenance.
• Do not pull the cable to remove the
plug.
• Use nonflammable cleaner.
