Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on

the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.

Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor

operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is

defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the

inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from

where it evaporates.

Manual Defrosting of the Freezer

When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick, you should

clean the freezer.

• Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position 7, so that

packages are well frozen. Reset the thermostat to STOP (0) position

and disconnect the power supply. Empty the freezer and take care

that the packages remain frozen.

• Insert the enclosed pipe into the

groove in the bottom of the

appliance and place a vessel

underneath to collect the defrost

water. Defrosting is accelerated if

the door is left open.

• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as

they may cause damage to the

plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance.

Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage

the surface.

Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after cleaning.

• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.

Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based

cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners). You may also use

alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).

The application of abrasive and specially aggressive cleaners, such

as the stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of

plastic and coated parts.
