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.
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.
• 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.
• Clean the drain pan on the refrigerator
compressor. Do not remove the drain pan!
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload it.
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 knob in operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Cooling
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).
