6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
The defrost of the fridge part is automatic.
When the refrigerator is in operation, beads of condensation or frost will form on the back wall.
This phenomenon is normal. It is not necessary to wipe off any condensation or frost. The back
wall automatically defrosts. The condensed water flows into the condensate channel and is
brought to the defrost pan located above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Note: Keep the condensate channel and the drain hole clean, so that the condensed water can
drain out.
Cleaning inside the fridge
After defrosting you should clean the fridge internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda.
Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets in warm
soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the Fridge. Condensation will
form on the back wall of the Fridge; however, it will normally run down the back wall and into the
drain hole behind the salad bin.
Cleaning outside the fridge
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the fridge exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge and the adjacent components can be cleaned
by using a soft brush.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the fridge
If you're going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the
appliance from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly. Also
leave the door open, block it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.
Moving the unit
▪
Location
Do not place your refrigerator near a heat source, for example. Stove, boiler or radiator. Also, avoid
direct sunlight.
▪
Refrigerator upgrade
Make sure the refrigerator is level. Use the rotatable adjustable feet at the front. If the refrigerator is
not level, the doors and magnetic sealing alignments will be affected and may cause malfunctions.
▪
Do not turn on the refrigerator for 4 hours
After any movement, it must not be connected for 4 hours. This delay allows the coolant to be
adjusted.
▪
Installation
Let your device breathe. Heat is released from the walls so it is important to leave a circulation of air
around your device.
Turn off your appliance
▪
If the unit is not likely to operate for a long period of time:
▪
Remove all food from your appliance from the refrigerator.
▪
Switch off the appliance by setting the thermostat to position 0.
▪
Unplug the appliance.
