Temperature of the freezer
The internal temperature is influenced by the following fac-
tors:
- Room temperature
- How often the door is opened
- Amount of food products stored
- Appliance setting
Caution: Check the state of the frozen foods if the freezer
compartment heats up.
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 car-
ried 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 compart-
ment is automatic without any external intervention.
The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of com-
pressor 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.
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 heat-
waves, the refrigerator temporarily happens to oper-
ate constantly. During this the automatic defrosting is inef-
fective.
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, the frozen food compartment has
to be defrosted (generally 2-3 times a year).
Take the foods out of the frozen and fresh food compart-
ment, wrap them into some layers of paper or cloth. Put
them to a possible cool place while defrosting.
Break the circuit of the appliance and leave the doors of
frozen and fresh food compartment open.
Continuously blot off the defrosting water by a soft cloth or
sponge.
After defrosting wipe the surfaces, apply voltage to the
appliance and put the foods back to their places.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the highest
position of the thermostatic control so that it can reach the
proper storing temperature as soon as possible.
