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 Freezer
When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5
mm thick, you should clean the freezer.
•
Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat
to position
7
, so that packages are well frozen.
Reset the thermostat to
STOP
position and
disconnect the power supply. Empty the freezer
and take care that the packages remain frozen.
•
Insert the enclosed pipe into the groove in the
bottom of the appliance and place a vessel
underneath to collect the defrost water.
Defrosting is accelerated if the door is left open.
•
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.
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.
•
Every now and then wipe the
condenser
on the
rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum
cleaner.
•
Do not forget to clean also the defrost water
receptacle
above the refrigerator compressor
(do not remove the receptacle).
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
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
position, disconnect the power supply, take
out the foods and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
