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 o

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.

** Applicable to appliances with a freezer com-

partment (*/***) Not applicable to appliances

with a Frost-free System.

*** Applicable to appliances with a refrigerator

compartment Not applicable to appliances with

a Frost-free System.

**** Applicable to appliances with a Frost-free

System.

● 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 o

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 t the guide groove

(g. 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 (g. 16).

You must not put an electric heater,

a heating fan or a hair dryer into the

freezer by any means.
