Instructions for the User 11.MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 11.1 Defrosting the refrigerator section The refrigerator compartment has automatic defrosting. During normal operation of the refrigerator, frost forms on its back wall when the compressor is working and dissolves when it is not in operation. When the compressor is not working, the frost which has built up on the back wall melts and the water flows into the opening provided in the bottom of the body of the refrigerator.
PAGE 17
Instructions for the User 11.3 Cleaning the refrigerator Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains. Clean the outside using only water and a gentle liquid detergent or an ordinary detergent for washable surfaces (such as a window-cleaning product). Never use products containing abrasives or substances which may attack the lacquered or painted parts, acids or chemical solvents. Use a sponge or a soft cloth.
PAGE 18
Instructions for the User 11.6 Operating noise The refrigerator and freezer are cooled by means of a compression system. In order to maintain the preset temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer sections, the compressor comes into operation in response to the level of cooling required, and may operate continuously if necessary. When the compressor starts up a humming sound will be heard, tending to drop in volume after a few minutes.
