Cleaning and Defrosting (Maintenance)
Cleaning
• Always pull the mains plug before cleaning.
• Do not pour water into the appliance.
• Tepid water with a bit of washing-up liquid
is suitable for the regular maintenance.
• Clean the equipment separately with rins-
ing water, not in the dishwasher.
• Do not use aggressive, abrasive or alcoholic
detergents.
• After cleaning it with clear water, wipe the
surface and carefully dry it off. Subsequent-
ly, plug the mains plug with dry hands.
• In order to save energy and maintain the
efficiency, you should clean the condenser
(on the backside) and the compressor at
least twice a year with a broom or vacuum
cleaner.
• The rating label in the interior of the appli-
ance cannot be damaged or even removed
while cleaning.
Defrosting
If the ice layer in the interior is 2-4 mm thick,
the appliance must be defrosted. Clean it at
least twice a year.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
• Remove food from the appliance and store
it as cool as possible, e.g., together with
ice packs and covered in a plastic recipi-
ent. Please remember that the lifetime of
the goods is shortened by the temperature
increase and that they should be consumed
as quickly as possible.
• Leave the door open. To speed up defrost-
ing, place one or more pots with hot but
not boiling water in the freezer.
• Warning! Do not use other mechanical
devices or any other means, e.g., heating
appliances, to speed up defrosting.
• Dry the appliance thoroughly after cleaning.
• Plug in the mains plug. Wait approx. 5
minutes and set the temperature controller
to the desired position.
Tips for Energy Saving
• For the installation of the appliance, choose
a cool, dry and well-aired room.
• Protect the appliance from direct insolation.
It should not be installed near heat sources
(stove, heater etc.). If this cannot be avoid-
ed, some sort of isolation between heat
source and appliance has to be used.
• Don't cover the ventilation openings and
grid. Provide enough circulation of air on
the backside of the appliance.
• Let warm food cool down before you store
it in the fridge.
• Do not leave the door open too long when
withdrawing or putting food inside. Other-
wise, the formation of ice in the interior will
be accelerated.
• Do not set the temperature lower than
necessary. More details on temperature
settings can be taken from the chapter
'Operating elements'.
Operation Noises
There might be some typical operation noises
when the appliance is turned on. These are:
• Noise of the electric
motor is arising from
the working compressor.
When the compressor
starts to operate, then
the noises get slightly
louder for a short time.
• Noises in the tubes of the circulation of the
refrigerant.
Changing the door hinge
• If necessary, the door can be changed from
right- to left-hinged.
• Warning! Before you work on the appli-
ance, always pull the mains plug out of
the point.
• In order to avoid damages to persons and
property, execute the change of the door
stop with two persons.
• We recommend leaving the change of the
door stop to experts.
• Before you start with the modifications,
here is some general info:
ū Always pay attention to the number of
shims on the bearing pins and screws.
ū Position the doors always so that they
close tightly.
