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 Frezing Compartment

When the frost and ice layer in the Frezing compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean the freezer.

•Turn the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and disconnect the power supply. Empty the compartment and take care that the packages remain frozen.

•Use a suitable cloth to dry the defrost water collected during defrosting on the bottom of the Frezing compartment.

Leave the door of the compartment open to accelerate defrosting.

•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.
