DEFROSTING, WASHING AND
MAINTENANCE
Never clean the product’s casing or plastic parts using solvents or strong,
abrasive detergents (e.g. washing powders or creams)! Use mild liquid
detergents and soft cloths only. Do not use sponges.
Defrosting the fridge***
• 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,
carefully unclog the opening with the cleaning plug (fig. 13).
• The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the frost set -
tles on the rear wall), and defrosts (water flows down the rear wall)
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning by remov-
ing the plug from the mains socket or switching off the fuse. Prevent
water from penetrating the control panel or the light.
• Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause the formation of an
explosive mixture, or contain solvents which may damage the plastic
components of the appliance and even be harmful to health.
• Make sure the water used for cleaning does not flow into the evapo -
ration container through the discharge opening.
• 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.
• Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers, door shelves, glass
shelves, etc.).
Defrosting the freezer**
• It is recommended to combine defrosting the appliance with washing
it.
• Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing areas impairs the ap-
pliance’s freezing capacity and increases the energy consumption.
• Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a year. In case of a higher
ice build-up, defrosting must be carried out more frequently.
• If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the max. position about
4 hours before the planned defrosting. This will ensure the possibility
of storing the food at the ambient temperature for a longer time.
• After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a container, wrap it
with several layers of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool place.
• The defrosting operation should last as short as possible. Long stor-
age of food at the ambient temperature shortens their shelf life.
