DEFROSTING
Wartung for "Alto System" appliances
When you unplug the appliance for
defrosting and cleaning, you should wait
for about 24 hours so that the
accumulators warm up to room
temperature. They will continue to frost
up and form condensation water until
they become warm.
Defrosting of the freezer
Defrost every time you notice the formation of frost or ice 5-6 mm. thick. This layer of ice will
reduce the freezing power and will increase energy consumption.
Wrap the frozen food in newspaper and then cover out with wrappers (insulated bags or boxes are
also suitable). Place them in a cool place, preferably in the fridge, awaiting to be put into the
freezer again. Before carrying out any other Operation unplug the electric current.
Collect the defrosted water with a shovel/key äs supplied with some models. Position it into the
pre placed slit (fig. 24) and collect the water with the help of the last drawer of the freezer (fig. 25).
As the layer of ice begins to melt you may ease the Separation from the walls by delicately using
the special plastic spatula.
CLEANING
You may hasten this process by placing inside the freezer a pot with hot water isolating it from the
Internat cleaning
Before carrying out any other Operation, unplug the freezer. Qean both the refrigerator and the
freezer by using sodium bicarbonate dissolved in water (l spoonful every 4 Ihres of water).
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE DETERGENTS.
Rinse off with water and dry with a cloth. Plug into the socket. Turn the knob to the conservation
temperature position. Wait 3-4 hours before placing food inside. To use the freezer activate fast
freeze and wait 3-4 hours before plackig deep frozen and/or fresh products into the respective
compartments of the freezer. Remove the fast freeze Operation after 24 hours.
External cleaning
Before carrying out any other Operation, unplug the freezer. Use the same delicate method for
extemal cleaning äs you did for the internal cleaning. Remember to dust off the condenser placed at
the back of the appliance. Use a dry brush or better still, a vacuum cleaner.
MINOR BREAKDOWNS AND
ANOMALIES
Before calling the Service department, check whether you can solve the problem through the
following check-points:
Unusual noises - You haven't regulated the base properly and so the freezer vibrates.
Reduced cooling power - You have placed a larger quantity of food than advisable. You have
opened the door too many times. The door has not been properly closed.
The appliance does not cool - Check that the plug and socket are making contact. You may have
blown a mains fuse. The main light switch has tripped. The thermostat is off, the knob is on "0"
position.
The exterior of the appliance 5s hot - This is NOT a defect, but helps to prevent formation of
condensate on the external parts of the appliance.
White streaking on frozen meats - The temperature is too low or you have not heeded the expiry
dates indicated on the freezing chart.
Part-freezing - Normally, products containing lots of sugar, fats and alcohol such äs ice-creams or
Juices, do not freeze completely and remain partially soft.
Water droplets on the external walls of the appliance - During the Spring and Auturnn seasons,
when the house heating is turned off, it may happen that the extemal walls of the appliance show
some water droplets (condensate). This phenomenon does not interfere with the good functioning
of the appliance and is not dangerous to people.
Frost build up inside - The doors are not properly shut. You have opened the doors too often.
Water or ice droplets on the back vertical wall of the refrigerator compartment - This is not a
defect.
The door opens with difficulty - It is normal for the door to offer some resistance to opening after
being closed. This is to ensure a perfect seal of the doors. Wait a few minutes before opening once
again.
