DEFROSTING THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT
The defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely automatic. Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to a drain
outlet and into a container from which it evaporates. The drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to
prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Keep the contents of the freezer in a cool
place and wrapped in blankets or newspapers. Switch the thermostat off. Defrost the freezer compartment.
You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer. Do not use sharp metal objects for this
operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit. Use the plastic scraper provided.
Clean and dry the freezer. Switch the thermostat on to the right setting. When the freezer compartment reaches its correct
temperature, replace the food items.
Warning: Never remove the ice with the aid of sharp objects, defrost sprays, a hair-drier, a heater, or similar items. This may lead to
unsafe situations and may cause irreparable damage to the appliance.
REPLACING THE BULB
When replacing the bulb, proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance from the power supply.
• Remove the lamp cover by pressing the hooks placed on both sides of the cover.
• First check if the bulb is fully screwed in.
• If the bulb is defective, replace it with a bulb of the same type: maximum 15 Watt, socket
E14. This kind is widely available.
• Place the cover in its place.
• Plug the appliance back into the power supply.
TIPS
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the refrigerator in a position away from direct sunlight or
other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as
possible.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow the cool air to
circulate. Therefore don't place any food items against the back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore
efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.
