Maintenance and Cleaning
Freezer Defrosting
When the frost layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you
should clean the freezer.
24 hours before defrosting set the thermostat knob to the
position for continuous operation (the yellow light is on) so
that the food packages are well cooled. After that empty
the freezer and take care that the packages don't start to
thaw.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.
Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the bottom
of the appliance and place a vessel underneath to collect
the defrost water. Defrosting is accelerated if the door is
left open.
Cleaning the Appliance
Before cleaning the appliance disconnect the cable from
the mains supply.
Do not use sharp tools or abrasive
cleaning agents.
Clean the
outside
surfaces of the appliances 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.
Wash the
inside
surfaces with lukewarm water and some
vinegar.
From time to time wipe
the condenser
on the rear wall
with a soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner.
After you have cleaned the appliance, reconnect it to the
mains supply and put the food packages back to their place.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of
time, disconnect the power supply, empty the freezer, defrost
it and clean it. Leave the door slightly open.
Changing the Direction of Opening the Door
If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance
inconvenient, you can change it. Holes on the opposite side
have already been prepared in the factory.
Unscrew the kick-plate and remove it by pushing
downwards.
Unscrew the lower hinge and take off the door together
with the upper hinge washer.
Unscrew the upper hinge fastener and fix it on the opposite
side of the appliance.
Take off, change and replace the door hinge fixture and the
fixture plugs.
Put the door with the upper hinge washer on the upper
hinge fastener.
Fix the lower hinge with washer on the new position.
Replace the cover plate of the lower hinge to the opposite
side of the kick-plate and fix it to the appliance.
In case your appliance is equipped with a handle mounted
on the side of the appliance, take it off and replace it on the
other side.
Some screws are covered with caps. Take them off before
undoing the screws.
Check the gasket, it shouldn't be creased and it should
seal well.
In the case that the door is not levelled an additional
adjustment of the upper hinge support is necessary. The
service intervention must be made by an authorised
serviceman.
Should the seal not adhere to the casing of the appliance
perfectly, it will have to be heated from a suitable distance
(by means of hair drier, for example) and lightly stretched
to the required height.
