l
Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause
the formation of an explosive mixture, or contain
solvents which may damage the plastic com-
ponents of the appliance and even be harmful
to health.
l
Make sure the water used for cleaning does not
flow into the evaporation container through the
discharge opening.
l
The whole appliance, except for the door gasket
must be cleaned with a mild cleaning detergent.
The door gasket should be cleaned with water
and wiped dry.
l
Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers,
door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).
Defrosting the freezer
l
It is recommended to combine defrosting the
appliance with washing it.
l
Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing
areas impairs the appliance’s freezing capacity
and increases the energy consumption.
l
Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a
year.
l
If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the
max. position about 4 hours before the planned
defrosting. This will ensure the possibility of
storing the food at the ambient temperature for a
longer time.
l
After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a
container, wrap it with several layers of paper, a
blanket and store it at a cool place.
l
The defrosting operation should last as short as
possible. Long storage of food at the ambient
temperature shortens their shelf life.
Defrosting the fridge
Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It
is removed automatically. During the defrosting, the
condensate, which contains contaminants may clog the
opening in the through. Should it occur, carefully unclog
the opening with the cleaning plug (fig. 10).
l
The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates
(then the frost settles on the rear wall), and de -
frosts (water flows down the rear wall)
DEFROSTING, WASHING AND MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the appliance from the
mains before cleaning by removing the
plug from the mains socket or switching
off the fuse. Prevent water from penetra -
ting the control panel or the light.
You must not put an electric heater,
a heating fan or a hair dryer into the
freezer by any means.
