Operation Manual
142420
The appliance needs no special defrosting procedure, because
ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically.
Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor
operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating,
and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the
inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor
where it evaporates.
For appliances without the ZeroZone drawer:
In case of excessive ice deposits at the inner rear wall of the
refrigerator (3-5 mm), switch the appliance off by pressing the
ON/OFF button and defrost it manually.
Automatic defrosting
Prior any cleaning attempt disconnect the appliance from
the mains (pull the power cord from the mains wall outlet).
Special antibacterial protection in top layer of inner walls
prevents multiplication of bacteria and maintains the interior
clean and germ free. Make sure to remove traces of any
cleansing agents you had been using.
• Clean the exterior of the appliance with water and liquid
detergent.
• Do not use abrasive or aggressive agents (such as stainless
steel cleansers) for cleaning of plastic and coated surfaces as
you can damage them.
• Clean coated surfaces with soft cloth and alcohol based
cleansing agent (for example glass cleaners).
• Wash the interior of the appliance with liquid detergent and
lukewarm water, mixed with a little vinegar.
- For appliances without the ZeroZone drawer:
Groove and drain outlet located below the cooling panel at
the rear wall collect the drained water, so they must not be
clogged (with food particles, for example). Make sure you
inspect them periodically and clean if necessary (use plastic
straw to free the outlet hole).
• The condenser on the rear wall must always be clean and
free of dust or kitchen fumes deposits, therefore clean the dust
periodically with non-metallic brush or vacuum cleaner.
• Clean also the drip pan above the compressor. If you
removed the pan, please make sure you replace it to the same
position, and check that it is in completely horizontal position!
• Ice and/or frost deposits exceeding 3-5 mm increase energy
consumption, so you need to remove them regularly. Do not
use sharp pointed objects, solvents or sprays.
• After cleaning switch the appliance on and reload the food.
