Maintenance and Cleaning

Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice

depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice

is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor

operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is

defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet

in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the

compressor, from where it evaporates.

Manual Defrosting of the Freezer

When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3-5 mm thick,

you should clean the freezer.

• Few hours before defrosting set the thermostat to position 7,

so that packages are well frozen. Reset the thermostat to

STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Empty

the freezer and take care that the packages remain frozen.

• Leave the door open for a while so that you can easy scrape

off the frost. Use the plastic scraper but be careful not to

damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.

Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before it is completely

defrosted.

• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage

to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

Cleaning the Appliance

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the

appliance.

Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can

damage the surface.

• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.

Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an

alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners).

You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol).

The application of abrasive and specially aggressive

cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not

appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts.

• Remove the detachable accesories in the interior of the

appliance and clean it with water and liquid detergent.

Plastic parts cannot be washed in washing machine.

• Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in

which you added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.

• Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall.

Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner.

• Do not forget to clean also the defrost water receptacle

above the refrigerator compressor (do not remove the

receptacle).

After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and

reload the packages.

Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use

If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set

the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the

power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the

appliance. Leave the door slightly open.

Trouble-Shooting Guide

During the service, you can come across some troubles that in

most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and

can easy be

eliminated.

The Appliance Fails to Operate After connecting to the

Mains Supply

• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the

appliance is switched on (thermostat in operating position).

Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System

• the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too

long;

• the door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket

may be polluted or damaged);

• perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods;

• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor

and condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off

the condenser);

• Continuous operation button activated (see section Freezing

of Food).

Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall

As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through

the opening to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic

defrosting of the appliance is assured. In case the ice

formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm), ice

should be manually defrosted.

Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the

door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not

scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects. After completed

defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close the

refrigerator door.

The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the

following:

− the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is

contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);

− the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for

too long;

− the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;

− the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.

Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator

In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost

water drips over the channel, water leaks from the refrigerator.

• Clean the clogged opening, for example with a plastic straw.

• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See "Ice Formation

on the Inner Back Wall".

The Freezer Door is Hard to Open

If you want to open the door that has just or recently been

closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this

happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into

the appliance and when it is getting cool, the underpressure

seals the door. After few minutes (5-10), the door can easily be

opened.
