Interior light
The light bulb inside the refrigerator compartment
can be reached as follows:
- unscrew the light cover securing screw.
- unhook the moving part as shown in the figure.
If the light does not come on when the
door is open, check that it is screwed into place
properly. If it still does not light up, change the
D613bulb. The rating is shown on the light bulb

Defrosting
Frost is automatically eliminated from the evapora-
tor of the refrigerator compartment every time the
motor compressor stops, during normal use. The
defrost water drains out through a trough into a spe-
cial container at the back of the appliance, over the
motor compressor, where it evaporates.
It is important to periodically clean the defrost
water drain hole in the middle of the refrigerator
compartment channel to prevent the water over-
flowing and dripping onto the food inside. UseD037
the special cleaner provided, which you will find
already inserted into the drain hole.
The freezer compartment, however, will become
progressively covered with frost. This should be
removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried
out as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the
D068thermostat knob to the �OE setting;
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place;
3. leave the door open, and insert the plastic
scraper in the appropriate seating at the bottom
centre, placing a basin underneath to collect theImportant:

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
