6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Before cleaning and/or maintenance make sure that the appliance is NOT connected to the
power supply. The maintenance of the appliance should be performed by qualified and certified per-
sonnel.
6.1. CLEANING
Trouble-free operation and service life of the ap-
pliance are essentially dependent on the proper
maintenance according to the schedule. Daily cle-
aning of the cooling/freezing chamber is essential
to prevent bacterial growth. Before cleaning, ma-
nually defrost the appliance with the door open
and the drain plug removed. Follow the instruc-
tions below:
• Do not use direct water jet and water under
pressure to clean the appliance as it can dama-
ge the electrical wiring.
• Do not use any metal objects to remove ice ac-
cumulated inside the chamber as it may scratch
and/or damage its internal surfaces.
• Always use lukewarm (not hot!) water with a
mild detergent for cleaning and a soft cloth for
drying of the appliance.
• Avoid using corrosive substances that contain
chlorine (and its solutions), caustic soda, hyd-
rochloric acid, acetum, bleach etc.
It is recommended to wear protective
gloves during cleaning of the appliance.
6.2. CLEANING OF THE CONDENSER
Before cleaning of the condenser make sure that
the appliance is NOT connected to the power sup-
ply. To ensure a trouble-free and long-term oper-
ation of the condenser unit it is necessary to clean
the condenser at least once a month. Use a brush
with long bristles for condenser cleaning. It is rec-
ommended to wear protective gloves during clean-
ing of the condenser - it reduces the risk of injury
and cutting with its sharp edges. Dirty condenser
unit reduces motor power which increases power
consumption of the appliance.
Take care not to damage the cooling system.
It is recommended to wear protective
gloves during cleaning of the appliance -
risk of injury.
6.3 MAINTENANCE
Remember to check the technical condition of the
appliance regularly (at least once a year) - the
overhaul should be carried out by qualified and
licensed personnel.
Check whether:
• The condensate drainage system operates
properly.
• There is no refrigerant or freezing agent leaka-
ge and whether the cooling system operates
properly.
• The technical condition of the wiring system is
absolutely safe.
• The gasket is correctly placed and the door clo-
ses properly.
• The condenser is clean.
• The digital control panel operates properly.
