Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the
Refrigerator
The refrigerator requires no defrosting, since the
ice at the rear wall melts automatically. Ice,
formed at the rear end during the operation of the
compressor, melts when the compressor is off,
and water drops slide downwards through the
hole in the rear wall o the condenser collecting
receptacle, placed at the bottom of the appliance.
Manual Defrosting of the Frezing
Compartment
When the frost and ice layer in the frezing
compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean
the freezer.
• Turn the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position,
and disconnect the power supply. Empty the
compartment and take care that the packages
remain frozen.
• Melted water, collected at the bottom of the
appliance, should be mopped with an absorbing
cloth.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may
cause damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning
the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents
as you can damage the surface.
Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth
and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for
example glass cleaners). You may also use
alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).
The application of abrasive and specially
aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel
cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of
plastic and coated parts.
• Remove the detachable accesories in the
interior of the appliance and clean it with water
and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be
washed in washing machine.
• Wash the interior of the appliance with
lukewarm water, in which you added one or two
spoonfuls of vinegar.
• The air openings in the bottom rail should be
cleaned or vacuumed periodically.
Cleaning of the condenser
Dust from the condenser should be
vacuumed in the following manner:
− push the finger through the opening in the
bottom rail and release the fastener;
− pull the rail towards you and remove it;
− remove the bottom board of the kitchen cabinet
− pull the condenser dish out;
− use the vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from
the condenser;
− replace the condenser dish and the bottom rail
in the opposite order.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
Periodical cleaning of the condenser
In order to optimize the operation of the
appliance and save energy, it is
recommended to clean periodically the dust
from the condenser at the back of the
appliance.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains prior the
commencement of cleaning!
