Caring for your Appliance.

DEFROSTING:

AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR-

There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice deposited on the interior back wall is defrosted automatically.

Ice is deposited on the interior back wall during the compressor operation, later on when the compressor is not operating, the ice defrosts and water droplets collect and drain through the outlet in the interior back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates.

MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIG- ERATOR-

As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the outlet to the drain pan on the compressor, automatic defrost- ing of the appliance is assured.

In the case of ice formation on the interior rear wall increasing (3-5mm), ice should be manually defrosted.

Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) posi- tion and leave the refrigerator door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice with sharp objects.

After defrosting is completed, turn the thermostat knob to the 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 was left open for a long period.

-The food stored in the refrigerator was warm.

-Food or packaging is touching the interi or rear wall.

MANUAL DEFROSTING OF THE FREEZER-

When the frost and ice layer in the freezer is 3 - 5mm thick you should defrost the freezer.

•A 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, wrap frozen food in a blanket and put in a cool place.

•Leave the door open for a while so that you can easily scrape off the frost and ice layer. Use the plastic scraper but take care not to damage the inner surfaces of the freezer.

•Wipe up the scraped frost and ice before completely defrosted.

•Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health.

DO NOT scrape off frost or dislodge frozen food which is stuck to the freezer compartment with a knife or other sharp implement. You could damage the refriger- ant tubing. Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause eye injuries.

WARNING: DO NOT USE

MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL DEVICES

OR ANY OTHER MEANS TO ACCELERATE
