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 instruments other

than those recommended by the manufacturer to speed

up the defrosting process.

The evaporator defrosts automatically during operation; the

defrost water is collected by the conveyor and is evaporated

externally automatically.

Clean the defrost water drain hole periodically (see fig. 1) to

prevent the water from collecting on the bottom of the

refrigerator instead of flowing out.

The storage compartment should be defrosted when the

layer of ice in the evaporator reaches the thickness of 7 to 8

mm. Set the thermostat knob on symbol “ ” and leave the

door open until the compartment is completely defrosted.

The defrost water can be collected as shown in figure 2.

Dry the wet parts and turn on the appliance by setting the

thermostat knob on the setting used previously.

To speed up the defrosting of the storage compartment,

place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment.

IMPORTANT: When defrosting, remove the frozen food, wrap

in newspaper and keep in a cool place.

Since the rise in temperature will shorten the storage life of

the food, it should be used as soon as possible.

you do not have any sodium bicarbonate at home, use a

neutral soap.

- What not to use: Do not use abrasive detergents, bleach

or detergents containing ammonia. Never use solvent based

products.

- All removable parts can be cleaned by soaking them in hot

soapy water or detergent. Remember to dry them thoroughly

before replacing them.

- 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 door open to prevent the

formation of odours and mould.

of the appliance is located at the back of the thermostat

box. Unscrew the burned out bulb and replace it with

another bulb with a wattage no higher than 15 Watt, follow
