DEFROSTING,
MAINTENANCE
Never clean the product's casing or plastic parts using solvents or strong, abrasive
detergents (e.g. washing powders or creams)! Use mild liquid detergents and soft
cloths only. Do not use sponges.
Defrosting the fridge***
•
Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. It is removed automatically.
During the defrosting, the condensate, which contains contaminants may clog
the opening in the through. Should it occur, carefully unclog the opening with the
cleaning plug (fig. 13).
•
The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates (then the frost settles on the rear
wall), and defrosts (water flows down the rear wall)
•
Disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning by removing the plug
from the mains socket or switching off the fuse. Prevent water from penetrating
the control panel or the light.
•
Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause the formation of an explosive
mixture, or contain solvents which may damage the plastic components of the
appliance and even be harmful to health.
•
Make sure the water used for cleaning does not flow into the evaporation con-
tainer through the discharge opening.
•
The whole appliance, except for the door gasket must be cleaned with a mild
cleaning detergent. The door gasket should be cleaned with water and wiped
dry.
•
Wash all the accessories (vegetable containers, door shelves, glass shelves,
etc.).
•
WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the
defrosting process, other than thode recommended by the manufacturer
Defrosting the freezer**
•
It is recommended to combine defrosting the appliance with washing it.
•
Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing areas impairs the appliance's
freezing capacity and increases the energy consumption.
•
Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a year. In case of a higher ice build-
up, defrosting must be carried out more frequently.
•
If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the max. position about 4 hours
before the planned defrosting. This will ensure the possibility of storing the food
at the ambient temperature for a longer time.
•
After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in a container, wrap it with several
layers of paper, a blanket and store it at a cool place.
•
The defrosting operation should last as short as possible. Long storage of food
at the ambient temperature shortens their shelf life.
Defrost the freezer chamber following steps:**
•
Switch of the appliance using the control panel and pull the plug out from the
socket..
•
Open the door and remove the food from the freezer.
•
Depending on the model, pull out the drainage tube located in the bottom of the
freezer compartment and place a suitable vessel underneath.
•
Leave the door open, this will speed up the defrost process. Additionally, a pot
with hot water (not boiling) may be placed inside the freezer compartment.
•
Wash the interior of the freezer and wipe it dry.
•
Switch on the appliance as per the relevant point in the manual.
