Positioning the door shelves
To permit storage of food packages of various sizes, the door shelves can be adjusted in height. To make these adjustments proceed as follows: Gradually pull the shelf in the direction of the arrows until it comes free, then reposition as required (Fig. 10). Fig. 10
In the freezer compartment however, the frost should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not necessary to switch off the power or to remove the foods from the compartment. Do not use sharp instruments to scrape off frost to avoid damaging the appliance. If a thick layer of ice is formed it will be necessary to carry out complete defrosting as follows: set the knob (D) to «O» or unplug the appliance from the mains socket; wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper and place the food packages in a cool place. Leave the door open. Insert the plastic scraper in the appropriate seating, place a basin underneath to collect the defrost water (Fig. 13).

For more thorough cleaning, the top door shelf can be removed by pulling it in the direction of the arrows, then re�tting it in position (Fig. 11). Fig. 11

After complete defrosting thoroughly dry the refrigerator compartment.

Keep the scraper for future use. Reconnect the appliance to the power supply, start it up and, after two or three hours, replace the foods previously removed from the freezer. Important Remember that an increase in the surface temperature of already-frozen foods may signi�cantly decrease their storage life. We particularly recommend that you periodically clean the defrost-water drainage hole, located in the centre of the drainage groove in the refrigerator compartment (Fig. 12) to prevent the defrost water from overflowing onto foods stored in the compartment. Use the special cleaner provided, which you will find already inserted into the drainage hole.
Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evaporator of the refrigerator compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The defrost water drains out through a trough (Fig. 12) into a special container on the back of the appliance, where it evaporates. Fig. 12
