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.
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.
• Few hours before defrosting set the
thermostat to position 7, so that packages
are well frozen. Reset the thermostat to
STOP (0) position and disconnect the power
supply. Empty the freezer and take care that
the packages remain frozen. Leave the door
open for a while so that you can easy scrape
off the frost. Use the plastic scraper but be
careful not to damage the inner surfaces of
the freezer. Wipe up the scraped frost and
ice before it is completely defrosted.
• 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. Be careful to remove any
cleanser agent remaining after cleaning.
• Clean the exterior with water and detergent.
• 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.
Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from
improper handling of the appliance and can
easy be eliminated.

• Check the supply in the outlet socket and
make sure the appliance is switched on

Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating
System

opened for too long;
