Defrosting the refrigeration chamber
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, ca-
refully unclog the opening with the cleaning
plug
(Fig.5).
l
The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the frost settles on the rear
wall), and defrosts (water flows down the rear wall).
Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning by removing the plug
from the mains socket or switching off the fuse. Prevent water from penetrating
the control panel or the light.
l
Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause the formation of explosive mixture,
or contain slovents which may damage the plastic components 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.).
Automatic fridge defrosting
The fridge chamber has been equipped with the automatic defrosting function. Ho-
wever, frost may settle on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. This happens usually,
when large quantities of fresh food products are stored in the fridge.
