AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING
There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice
deposits on the inner back wall are defrosted automatically.
Ice build-up on the inner back wall during the compressor
operation will defrost automatically (when the compressor
has cycled off.) Defrost water collects inside the drain pass-
ing through the drain outlet in the inner back wall into a drain
pan situated above the compressor from where it evaporates.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Disconnect the power before cleaning the appliance.
Do not use coarse or abrasive cleaning agents as you can
damage the surface of the unit.
Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the
appliance and clean with water and liquid detergent. Plastic
parts cannot be washed in dishwashers.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, with
one or two spoonfuls of vinegar. After cleaning, connect the
appliance to the power supply and reload it when the tem-
perature is cold enough.
SWITCH OFF APPLIANCE
WHEN NOT IN USE
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a long period of
time set the thermostat knob to OFF (0) position, disconnect
the power supply, take out the foods, defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and
will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you
should minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off. During power failures of longer duration, take
steps to protect your food by placing dry ice on top of
packages.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
IF YOU MOVE
Remove or securely fasten all loose items inside the unit. To
avoid damaging the leveling legs, turn them all the way into
the base.
Some Important Rules for the Correct Use of the
Refrigerator
• Never place hot foods in the refrigerator.
• Never place spoiled foods in the refrigerator.
• Don't overload the refrigerator.
• Don't open the door unless necessary.
• Should the refrigerator be stored without use for long
periods, we suggest cleaning it carefully and the door
ajar to allow the air to circulate inside the unit in order to
avoid possible formations of condensation, mold
or odors.
