Maintenance and Cleaning
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.
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. Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after
cleaning.
• 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 it.
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.
