Defrosting food
For optimal cooking results with frozen food, we recommend defrosting
inside the refrigerator.
Defrosting the appliance
Frost on the inner cooling walls of the refrigerator is eliminated automatically every time the motor
compressor is shut down. Water from melted frost is collected by means of a channel which leads to a water
tray installed above the motor compressor at the rear of the unit. Heat generated by the motor compressor
ensures evaporation of the water. Periodically clean the defrost water drain outlet in the refrigerator
compartment.
Defrost the freezer compartment when the ice/frost is approximately 3-4mm thick. Set the thermostat dial to
“OFF” or “0” to defrost. Remove all contents from the freezer compartment. Leave the freezer door open to
allow accumulated ice/frost to melt. Do not use hot water or other electric heating devices to melt the
accumulated ice. After defrosting, remove accumulated ice/water and wipe the freezer compartment with a soft
cloth. Restart the unit per starting instructions.
Never use a knife or other sharp metal instrument to scrape ice/frost from the inside of the unit.
Prolonged periods of disuse
If you do not intend to use the appliance for long periods of time. Set the thermostat knob to the “OFF”
position and disconnect the power supply. Then take out the foods, defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the
door slightly open.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you may damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with cloth.
Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and clean with water and liquid detergent.
Plastic parts cannot be washed in dishwashers.
Wash the interior of the appliance with wet cloth, adding one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload it.
