Clean the melting water outlet with the
supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in
the figure. The pipe scraper has to be
stored in the outlet.
Occasionally check defrost water outlet
not to be clogged up.
The most typical case of clogging up in
the defrost water outlet when you put
food wrapped in some paper into the
appliance and this paper contacts back
plate of fresh food compartment and
freezes to it. If you remove the food right
at this moment the paper will tear and it
can cause clogging up in the outlet by
getting into it. So you are asked to be
careful - because of the above - when
placing foods wrapped in paper into the
appliance.
In case of increased demand e.g.
during heatwaves, the refrigerator
temporarily happens to operate
constantly. During this the automatic
defrosting is ineffective.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on
back plate of the fresh food compartment
after defrosting period is not abnormal.
The frozen food compartment can not be
equipped with automatic defrosting set
since the deep-frozen and frozen foods
do not endure melting temperature.
Provided it is not too thick, the layer of
frost or ice can be scraped off and
removed using a plastic scraper.
When ice coating is so thick that it can
not be removed with the plastic scraper,
Maintenance
Unplug the appliance before
carrying out any maintenance
operation.
Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by
authorised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chamber in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases, it needs more
energy, at a certain thickness it does not
allow the door of the frozen food
compartment to open, possibly the door
can be broken.
At this type of appliance defrosting fresh
food compartment is automatic without
any external intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the
operation of compressor at regular
intervals for more or less time - during this
cooling is interrupted - temperature of the
fresh food compartment increases and
defrosting occurs. After defrosting the
thermostatic control restarts operation of
the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water
outlet into the evaporative tray maintained
on the top of compressor and evaporates
due to warmth of it.
Check and clean the outlet of
melting water coming during
defrosting regularly. If it is
clogged the melting water gathered
can cause earlier failure as it can go
to the insulating of the appliance.
