Periodic cleaning
Caution! Do not pull, move or damage
any pipes and/or cables inside the
cabinet.
Caution! Take care of not to damage the
cooling system.
Caution! When moving the cabinet, lift it
by the front edge to avoid scratching the
floor.
The equipment has to be cleaned regularly:
1. Clean the inside and accessories with lukewarm
water and some neutral soap.
2. Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure they are clean and free from debris.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. If accessible, clean the condenser and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush.
This operation will improve the performance of the
appliance and save electricity consumption.
Defrosting of the refrigerator
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 into a special 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 overflowing and dripping
onto the food inside.
Defrosting the freezer
Caution! Never use sharp metal tools to
scrape off frost from the evaporator as
you could damage it. Do not use a
mechanical device or any artificial means
to speed up the thawing process other
than those recommended by the
manufacturer. A temperature rise of the
frozen food packs, during defrosting,
may shorten their safe storage life.
About 12 hours prior to defrosting, set a
lower temperature, in order to build up
sufficient chill reserve for the interruption
in operation.
A certain amount of frost will always form on the freezer
shelves and around the top compartment.
Defrost the freezer when the frost layer reaches a
thickness of about 3-5 mm.
1. Switch off the appliance, or pull out electrical plug
from the wall socket.
2. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers
of newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Warning! Do not touch frozen
goods with wet hands. Hands can
freeze to the goods.
3. Leave the door open.
In order to speed up the defrosting process, place a
pot of warm water in the freezer compartment. In
addition, remove pieces of ice that break away
before defrosting is complete.
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior
thoroughly and keep the scraper for future use.
5. Switch on the appliance.
After three hours reload the previously removed food
into the freezer compartment.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, take
the following precautions:
1. Disconnect the appliance from electricity supply.
2. Remove all food.
3. Defrost (if necessary) and clean the appliance and
all accessories.
4. Clean the appliance and all accessories.
5. Leave the door/doors open to prevent unpleasant
smells.
