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 deter-
gents and soft cloths only. Do not use sponges.
Defrosting the fridge
Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber.
l
It is removed automatically. During the defrosting,
the condensate, which contains contaminants may
clog the opening in the through. Should it occur,
carefully unclog the opening with the cleaning plug
(fig. 13).
The appliance operates in cycles: it refrigerates
l
(then the frost settles on the rear wall), and defrosts
(water flows down the rear wall)
Disconnect the appliance from the mains
before cleaning by removing the plug
from the mains socket or switching off
the fuse. Prevent water from penetrating
the control panel or the light.
Do not use defrosting aerosols. They may cause
l
the formation of an explosive mixture, or contain
solvents which may damage the plastic compo-
nents of the appliance and even be harmful to
health.
Make sure the water used for cleaning does not
l
flow into the evaporation container through the
discharge opening.
The whole appliance, except for the door gasket
l
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,
l
door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).
Defrosting the freezer
It is recommended to combine defrosting the
l
appliance with washing it.
Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing
l
areas impairs the appliance's freezing capacity
and increases the energy consumption.
Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a
l
year. In case of a higher ice build-up, defrosting
must be carried out more frequently.
If there is food in the freezer, set the knob to the
l
max. position about 4 hours before the planned
defrosting. This will ensure the possibility of
storing the food at the ambient temperature for
a longer time.
After taking the food out of the freezer, put it in
l
a container, wrap it with several layers of paper,
a blanket and store it at a cool place.
The defrosting operation should last as short as
l
possible. Long storage of food at the ambient
temperature shortens their shelf life.
In order to defrost the freezer chamber, you
must take the following steps:
Switch of the appliance using the control panel
l
and pull the plug out from the socket..
Open the door and remove the food from the
l
freezer.
Depending on the model, pull out the drainage
l
tube located in the bottom of the freezer com-
partment and place a suitable vessel underne-
ath.
Leave the door open, this will speed up the de-
l
frost process. Additionally, a pot with hot water
(not boiling) may be placed inside the freezer
compartment.
Wash the interior of the freezer and wipe it dry.
l
Switch on the appliance as per the relevant
l
point in the manual.
You must not put an electric heater,
a heating fan or a hair dryer into the
freezer by any means.
