If you're not at home for a long time
• Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food.
• Clean the refrigerator.
• Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to child’s play.
• Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks.
• Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have the door removed.
ENERGY SAVING
For better energy saving we suggest:
• Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight and
in a well-ventilated room.
• Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal temperature
and therefore causing continuous functionalizing of the compressor.
• Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
• Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
• In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator door
closed.
• Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible.
• Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
• Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance.
TAKE CARE
Defrosting
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 5 mm has formed.
Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug. Extract
the water conduit and put in a water container.
As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper. NEVER use a
metal or sharp instrument. This should be carried out if the frost build-up cannot be scraped away,
or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Chose a time when the stock of frozen food is low
and proceed as follow:
1. Take out the frozen food, turn the Refrigerator off at the mains supply and leave the doors
open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another Fridge/Freezer or refrigerator. If this
is not possible wrap the food, firstly in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then in
a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Scrape away as much frost build-up as possible using the plastic scraper. To accelerate the
thawing process place bowls of hot water inside the Fridge/Freezer cabinet. As the solid frost
loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is completed, clean your Fridge/Freezer as described.
Cleaning and Care
After defrosting you should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate
of soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets
in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.
