DEFROSTING, WASHING AND
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 sot cloths only. Do not use sponges.
External suraces made o plastic should be cleaned with a microber
cloth, otherwise irreversible micro scratches will appear.
Derosting the ridge***
• Frost settles on the rear wall o the ridge chamber. It is removed
automatically. During the derosting, the condensate, which contains
contaminants may clog the opening in the through. Should it occur,
careully unclog the opening with the cleaning plug (g. 13).
• The appliance operates in cycles: it rerigerates (then the rost set-
tles on the rear wall), and derosts (water ows down the rear wall)
• Disconnect the appliance rom the mains beore cleaning by remov-
ing the plug rom the mains socket or switching o the use. Prevent
water rom penetrating the control panel or the light.
• Do not use derosting aerosols. They may cause the ormation o an
explosive mixture, or contain solvents which may damage the plastic
components o the appliance and even be harmul to health.
• Make sure the water used or cleaning does not ow into the evapo-
ration container through the discharge opening.
• The whole appliance, except or 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 accel-
erate the derosting process, other than thode recommended by the
manuacturer
Derosting the reezer**
• It is recommended to combine derosting the appliance with washing
it.
• Excessive accumulation o ice on the reezing areas impairs the ap-
pliance's reezing capacity and increases the energy consumption.
• Derost the appliance at least once or twice a year. In case o a higher
ice build-up, derosting must be carried out more requently.
• I there is ood in the reezer, set the knob to the max. position about
4 hours beore the planned derosting. This will ensure the possibility
o storing the ood at the ambient temperature or a longer time.
• Ater taking the ood out o the reezer, put it in a container, wrap it
with several layers o paper, a blanket and store it at a cool place.
• The derosting operation should last as short as possible. Long stor-
age o ood at the ambient temperature shortens their shel lie.
