Defrosting the refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated from the
evaporator of the refrigerator compartment
every time the motor compressor stops, dur-
ing normal use. The defrost water drains out
through a drain hole 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 refriger-
ator compartment channel to prevent the
water overflowing and dripping onto the food
inside.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long pe-
riods, take the following precautions:
•
disconnect the appliance from elec-
tricity supply
• remove all food
• defrost
3)
and clean the appliance and all
accessories
• leave the door/doors ajar to prevent un-
pleasant smells.
If the cabinet will be kept on, ask somebody
to check it once in a while to prevent the food
inside from spoiling in case of a power failure.
What to do if…
During operation of the appliance some
smaller but annoying trouble can often occur,
which does not require calling a technician
out. In the following chart information is given
about them to avoid unnecessary charges on
service.
Important!
The operation of the appliance
goes with certain sounds (compressor and
circulating sound). This not means a trouble,
but a normal operation.
Important!
The appliance operates
discontinuously, so the stopping of
compressor does not mean being no
current. That is why you must not touch the
electrical parts of the appliance before
breaking the circuit.
