Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put foods into the appliance only in a closed dish.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the
sympol | are recyclable. |

Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases in the cooling chambers, they need more energy, at a certain thickness it does not allow the door of the freezing compartment to open.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling plate of the refrigerator is automatic without any external intervention.The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time during this cooling is interrupted the temperature of the cooling plate goes above 0 °C due to interior heating load of the compartment, so defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of the cooling plate has reached +3 - +4 °C the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded through the back into the evaporative tray maintained on the top of compressor and evaporates due to its warmth.
Check and clean the outlet of melting water coming during defrosting regularly a label inside the appliance warns you for this. If it is clogged the melting water gathered can cause earlier failure as it can go
to the insulating of the appliance.
Clean the melting water outlet with the supplied pipe scraper that can be seen in the figure. The pipe scraper has to be stored in the outlet.
The most typical case of clogging up in the melting water outlet when you put food wrapped in some paper into the appliance and this paper contacts back plate of the refrigerator and freezes to it. If you remove the food right at this moment the paper will tear and it can cause clogging up in the outlet by getting into it. So you are asked to be careful - because of the above - when placing foods wrapped in paper into the appliance.
