Caring for Your Appliance, Defrosting | Indesit BA 13 S, BA 13 X

Caring for Your Appliance

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec- ommended by the manufacturer.

How to defrost the refrigerator compartment

This appliance features automatic defrosting; condensed water flows to the back of the appliance through a drain (see Fig. 3) where the heat produced by the compressor causes it to evaporate to the exterior.

The only precaution you need take, is to ensure the drain hole behind the crisper is cleaned regularly, so that the wa- ter can drain freely.

How to defrost the freezer compartment

Remember to regularly remove frost with the scraper pro- vided (never use a knife).

When the layer of frost is more than 5 mm thick you should defrost the appliance. Follow these steps: set knob A to “ ”; wrap deep frozen and frozen foods in newspaper; and place them in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Leave the freezer door open so that the frost thaws completely, placing basins of warm water in the freezer to speed up defrosting.

The unit is provided with a system which allows the defrost water to be collected in a container to be placed beneath the unit (proceed as illustrated in fig. 4).

Dry the inside of the unit carefully.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always unplug the appliance from the mains before cleaning.

-Your appliance is manufactured with hygienic odourless materials. To preserve these characteristics, always use sealed containers for strong smelling foods to avoid the formation of odours that are difficult to remove.

-Use only a water and bicarbonate solution: Clean the internal and exterior of your appliance with a sponge soaked with a warm water and sodium bicarbonate solution, which is also a good disinfectant. If you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use neutral detergent.

-What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based products.

-Dishwashable: All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If you own a dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the dishwasher. Remember to dry thoroughly before replacing them.

-What about the back panel? Dust may deposit on the back panel and affect the proper running of the appliance. To remove dust, vacuum away the dust very carefully using the appropriate vacuum cleaner accessory.

-Discontinued use of the appliance: If the appliance is not in use for any length of time, remember to clean the interior and dry thoroughly, leaving the doors open to prevent the formation of bad odours and mould.

-Replacing the light bulb.

When replacing the light of the refrigerator compartment unplug the unit from the power supply and chang the used lamp with another one of not more than 15 W.

For access ti lamp "A", remove the centre screw "B" at the back of the lamp cover, as indicated in fig. 5.
