Maintenance and Cleaning
Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator
The refrigerator requires no defrosting, since the ice at the rear
wall melts automatically. Ice, formed at the rear end during the
operation of the compressor, melts when the compressor is off,
and water drops slide downwards through the hole in the rear
wall o the condenser collecting receptacle, placed at the
bottom of the appliance.
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. Be careful to remove any cleanser agent
remaining after cleaning.
•
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.
•
The air openings in the bottom rail
should be cleaned or
vacuumed periodically.
Cleaning of the condenser
Dust from the condenser should be vacuumed in the
following manner:
−
push the finger through the opening in the bottom rail and
release the fastener;
−
pull the rail towards you and remove it;
−
remove the bottom board of the kitchen cabinet;
−
pull the condenser dish out;
−
use the vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from the condenser;
−
replace the condenser dish and the bottom rail in the opposite
order.
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload it.
Periodical cleaning of the condenser
In order to optimize the operation of the appliance and save
energy, it is recommended to clean periodically the dust from
the condenser at the back of the appliance.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains prior the
commencement of cleaning!
•
Empty the contents of the appliance.
•
Remove the supporting panel from the bottom of the kitchen
cabinet.
•
Remove the screws fixing the appliance to the kitchen worktop.
•
Pull the appliance out and expose the condenser at the back of the
appliance.
•
Unscrew the screws from the condenser bonnet and remove the
bonnet.
•
Clean the dust and dirt from the condenser.
After cleaning return the appliance to its place, plug in the
mains power cord and fill with food.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set
the thermostat knob to the
STOP (0)
position, disconnect the
power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some troubles that in
most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and
can easy be eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After Connecting to the
Mains Supply
•
Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the
appliance is switched on (thermostat knob in operating
position).
Continuous Operation of the Cooling System
•
The door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too
long.
•
The door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the
gasket may be polluted or damaged).
•
Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh
foods.
•
Insufficient cooling of compressor and condenser.
Check the air circulation through the bottom rail openings
and if necessary clean or vacuum the dust from the
condenser. See Section
Cleaning and Maintenance.
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
Until the water is drained through the hole in the rear and into
the receptacle at the bottom of the appliance, normal
automatic defrosting of the appliance is guaranteed.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-
5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to
STOP (0)
position and leave the
door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not
scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects.
