Defrosting, cleaning
and maintenance
Automatic defrosting
The
wine
cooler
is
defrosted
automatically. Defrost water runs
through a pipe and is collected in a tray
above the compressor where the heat
generated by the compressor causes it
to evaporate. The defrost water tray
should be cleaned at intervals.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it
from the main supply. The cabinet is best
cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C)
with a little mild detergent. Never use
cleaning agents that scour. Use a soft
cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry
thoroughly. The defrost water channel, in
which condensa- tion from the
evaporator runs, is located at the bottom
of the rear inside wall of the cabinet and
must be kept clean. Add a few drops of
disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the defrost
water drain a couple of times a year, and
clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or
similar. Never use sharp or pointed
imple- ments.
The sealing strip around the door must
be cleaned regularly to prevent
discolouration and prolong service life.
Use clean water. After cleaning the
sealing strip, check that it continues to
provide a tight seal.
Dust collecting on the condenser on
the rear of the cabinet, the
compressor and in the compressor
compartment is best removed using
a vacuum cleaner.
