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 de-
tergents and soft cloths only. Do not use sponges.
Defrosting the fridge***
●
Frost settles on the rear wall of the fridge chamber.
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
(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
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
flow into the evaporation container through the
discharge opening.
●
The whole appliance, except for the door gasket
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,
door shelves, glass shelves, etc.).
Defrosting the freezer**
●
It is recommended to combine defrosting the
appliance with washing it.
●
Excessive accumulation of ice on the freezing
areas impairs the appliance's freezing capacity
and increases the energy consumption.
●
Defrost the appliance at least once or twice a
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
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
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
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
and pull the plug out from the socket.
● Open the door and remove the food from the
freezer.
● Depending on the model, pull out the drainage
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-
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.
● Switch on the appliance as per the relevant
point in the manual.
Automatic fridge defrosting****
The fridge chamber has been equipped with an
automatic defrosting function. However, frost may
settle on the rear wall of the fridge chamber. This
happens usually, when large quantities of fresh
food products are stored in the fridge.
Automatic fridge defrosting****
The freezer chamber has been equipped with
an automatic defrosting function (no-frost). The
food is frozen in the cooled circulation air, and the
moisture from the freezer chamber is discharged
outside. As a result, no ice and frost is produced
in the freezer and the products do not freeze on
each other.
Washing the fridge and freezer chambers
manually****
It is recommended to wash the fridge and freezer
chambers at least once a year. This prevents the
formation of bacteria and bad odours. Switch off
the appliance, using button (1), remove the food
from the chambers and wash them using water
with a mild detergent. Then, wipe the chambers
dry with a cloth.
Taking out and putting in the shelves
Slide the shelf out, then slide it in as much as po-
ssible so that its clamp could fit the guide groove
(fig. 15).
Taking out and putting in the door shelf
Lift the door shelf, remove it and put it back from
the top into its required position (fig. 16).
You must not put an electric heater,
a heating fan or a hair dryer into the
freezer by any means.
