Defrosting
In case of increased demand e.g.during
heatwaves,the refrigerator temporarily happens to
operate constantly -during this the automatic
defrosting does not work.
Remaining small ice and frost stains on back plate of
the refrigerator after defrosting period is not
abnormal.
The freezer can not be equipped with automatic
defrosting set since the deep-frozen and frozen
foods do not endure melting temperature.
When small frost and ice occurs scrape off and
remove frost and ice coating with the supplied
plastic scraper.
When ice coating is so thick that it cannot be
removed with the plastic scraper,the cooling gill have
to be defrosted.Frequency of defrosting depends on
usage (generally 2-3 times a year).
Take the frozen foods out of the appliance, and put
them into a basket lined with paper or cloth. Store
them in a possibly cool place or replace them into
another refrigerator.
Pull out the mains plug from the mains socket, so
both parts of the appliance are out of operation.
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 authorized technicians.
Periods of non-operation
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
take the following precautions:
remove the plug from the wall socket;
remove all food;
defrost and clean the interior and all accessories;
leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate to prevent
unpleasant smells.
Periodic cleaning
Clean the inside with warm water and bicarbonate of
soda.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Do not pull, move or damage any pipes
and /or cables inside the cabinet .
Clean the condenser (black grill) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or a vacuum cleaner. This operation will
improve the performance of the appliance and save
electricity consumption.
Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners
contain chemicals that can attack/damage the
plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it
is recommended that the outer casing of this
appliance is only cleaned with warm water with a
little washing-up liquid added.
Open the doors of both parts of the appliance and
clean the refrigerator according to 'Regular
cleaning'.
Maintain and clean the freezer as following:
•
Sweep off the melting water with a cloth or
sponge in direction of sides of the cooling
plates.The melting water swept down gathers in
the outlet channel practically formed in the
bottom of the appliance and can be removed
according to figure.
•
Put an adequately high bowl or dish under the
outlet.
The bowl in figure is not a piece of accessories to
the appliance!
Wipe the surfaces after defrosting and leading the
water out.
Put the mains plug into the mains socket and put
foods taken out back to their places.
It is recommended to operate the appliance at the
highest position of the thermostatic control for some
hours so that it can reach the sufficient storing
temperature as soon as possible.
Important
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost
from the evaporator as you could damage it.
Do not use a maechanical device or any artificial
means to speed up the thawing process other
than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
