Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on
the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
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 Frezing Compartment
When the frost and ice layer in the frezing compartment is 3-5 mm
thick, you should clean the freezer.
•
Turn the thermostat knob to
STOP (0)
position, and disconnect the
power supply. Empty the compartment and take care that the
packages remain frozen.
•
Put a suitable vessel under the frezing compartment to collect the
defrost water. Leave the door of the compartment open to accelerate
defrosting.
•
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 coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage
the surface.
•
Clean the
exterior
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.
•
Remove the
detachable accesories
in the interior of the appliance
and clean it with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be
washed in washing machine.
•
Wash the
interior
of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you
added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
