De-frosting and cleaning
–
Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
–
Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
–
For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. To
prevent any unpleasant odour within the refrigerator, it should be cleaned about once a month.
–
Any accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
–
Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
–
After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces with fresh water before wiping them completely dry.
When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
–
To save energy and to ensure optimum performance, the condenser (at the rear) as well as the
compressor should be cleaned at least twice a year with a broom or a vacuum cleaner.
–
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
When de-frosting the freezer compartment
Once the build-up of ice inside the freezer compartment has reached a thickness of 2-4 mm, it needs
to be de-frosted. This should be done at least twice a year.
–
Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket.
–
Remove all food from the compartment, wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place to keep
the temperature down. Note that, even with a slight increase in temperature, the storage life will
be shortened and the food should be used as soon as possible.
–
Take off the covering panel and place a suitable container underneath the
freezer unit's melt-water drain to collect any dripping water.
–
Keep the door open. To accelerate defrosting, one or several containers
with hot (but not boiling) water may be placed inside the freezer
compartment.
Warning: do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to
accelerate de-frosting.
–
After cleaning, ensure that the freezer compartment is thoroughly dried and set the temperature
control to its maximum position. After 24 hours. it may turned back to its normal setting.
Defrosting the refrigerator cabinet :
The integral vapouriser is sealed in foam in the rear wall; you may therefore notice a build-up of frost
around the rear area. This layer of frost will start melting when the compressor is not working.
Through a system of hoses, the melt-water drains into the collection tray below the compressor, where
it will be absorbed into the surrounding air. The unit does not therefore require de-frosting, but only
proper cleaning instead.
To enable the melt-water to drain freely, always ensure that the channel and discharge opening in
the cabinet are free of any blockage.
