Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the
Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator,
because ice deposited on the inner back wall is
defrosted automatically. This is defrosted
periodically and the water formed drains way
through the hole in the back wall down
Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the
compressor operation; later on, when the
compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and
water drops collect and drain through the outlet in
the inner back wall into the drain pan situated
above the compressor, from where it evaporates.
Manual Defrosting of the Freezer
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5
mm thick, you should defrost it.
•
A few hours before defrosting set the
thermostat to position 7, so that the contents
are well frozen. Reset the thermostat to STOP
(0) position and disconnect the power supply.
Empty the freezer and take care that the
packages remain frozen by putting them in a
coolbox, wrapping in several layers of
newspaper etc.
•
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 quicker if the door is left open.
•
You can speed the defrosting process by
placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer. Avoid
using defrosting sprays, as they may cause
damage to the plastic parts and may be
hazardous to health.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning
the appliance.
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents as you can
damage the surface.
Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
•
Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Painted or lacquered surfaces cam also be
cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based
cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners).
The application of abrasive cleaners, such as
the stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate
for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.
•
Remove the detachable accesories in the
interior of the appliance and clean them with
water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot
be washed in a dishwasher
•
Wash the interior of the appliance with
lukewarm water, in which you added one or two
spoonfuls of vinegar.
•
Occasionally remove dust from the condenser
on the rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush or
vacuum cleaner.
•
Do not forget to clean occasionally the defrost
water tray above the refrigerator compressor
(do not remove it!).
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
